Dublin is going to have a Feminist Film Festival!

The Feminist Film Festival will take place in the New Theatre, 43 Essex Street in Templebar on August 30^th and 31^st.

The aim of the festival is to counteract the lack of women in film, aswell as their misrepresentation by providing a platform for short films that encompass, express, illustrate or open discourse around feminist principles and women’s experiences.

They’re looking for filmmakers to send a YouTube link of their short and 100-150 words about why it should be screened at the festival to info@feministfilmfestivaldublin.com. All shorts must be 5-15 minutes in length and the deadline is 5pm Wednesday July 30^th.

All the proceeds from the festival go to Sasane, a non-profit charity organisation in Nepal run by and for victims of sex trafficking.

So, go on! Get filming!
