INHERITED WORLDS (short films category)

The INHERITED WORLDS category is in itself an anthem to the memory of women in various communities. Whether we are talking about historical imprint, collective memory, invisibility in the workplace, there is an unspoken community among women. Before the struggle, there was the construction of a collective consciousness, some socially imposed barriers were overcome and where exhaustion, pain, fear and ignorance tried to destabilize, the light of resilience was stronger. The archival quality of this resilience stands the test of time and demonstrates that communities were built around memories that proudly bear the badge of heritage.
