The FICT in partnership with the IAWRT and IIC Asia Project is organizing the Fourth Asian Women’s Film Festival in March 2008.
The 2008 festival is titled, “Insights and Aspirations”. It will be a two-day event, to mark the International Women’s Day (March 7th to 8th 2008).
The aim of the festival is to open up a space for debates on creative processes and concerns.
 Recognizing the critical need for a forum that can sustain the form of documentary as well as women’s contribution to this unique form, the festival will showcase documentary films created by women, covering a range of genres and expressive styles. It will present films that explore and reflect on how women filmmakers negotiate, resist or document political, social, cultural, environmental, educational or economic issues. Are they creating a new language of filmmaking, which reflects, explores a news aesthetic and politics of filmmaking? How are women widening the frame for issues concerning women? These can be some of the central questions in the festival coupled with panel discussions and/or a seminar.
The IAWRT/IIC Asian Women’s Festival has traveled to many cities in India .The last festival had screenings in Kolkata, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Pune and Madurai.
