Women X: 1 Month To Go! 🍿

Hello RPeaPod!

Can you believe it? We’re just one month away from this year’s Women X Film Festival and we’ve got so much to share with you!

As the weeks go by we’ll be sharing more about our film programme, as well as newly announced events and panels as they get confirmed!

First up, we’re thrilled to announce our first ever exclusive Animation showcase - Meaning In Motion!
We’ve enjoyed screening incredible animation films since 2020 and this year we are beyond proud to be screening an exclusive animation showcase with films from across the globe 🌎

• And Granny Would Dance 💃👵

• Bliss 🌸✨

• Cat & Fish 🐱🐟

• Gardening 🌱

• Passenger 🚗

• Romina ❤️

• Sandcastles 🏖️

• Sublunar 🌙

• The Eating of an Orange 🍊

We then have four brilliant drama showcases this year, each submission window drama films fill the space and we often struggle to curate them into themes, but this year that challenge was welcomed as we DOUBLED our screenings and were able to programme more short films than ever.

So welcome to the Women X world…

At Sixes and Sevens, Exploring the complexities of relationships and connection between women and men

Beyond Borders, These intimate dramas explore migration, belonging, and what it means to build a life in unfamiliar places and what gets left behind.

Broken Britain, After over a decade of austerity, what does life look like beyond the headlines? From healthcare to education, the cost of baby formula to the absence of accountability, these films offer a window into the lived realities.

Duty Of Care, A compelling handful of films exploring the often unseen responsibilities and emotionally charged involvement in caring for others, paid and unpaid.

✨ Crafts are back! ✨

Our drop-in craft sessions will be running all weekend 🎨🖌️ the perfect chance to step away from the screen, get creative, and either enjoy some solo time or meet new people.

This year’s themes include:
🧸 Returning to Childhood
🍂 Equinox Planning
🎬 Connecting to Film
