Janub Shamoli Women’s Film Festival will take place in Samarkand
Films by women from the Global South
Janub Shamoli is a women's film festival featuring works by female directors from the Global South, set to take place in Samarkand and online from August 13 to 18. This festival is centered around films with a female perspective, telling stories that challenge the dominant narratives perpetuated by a Western, male-dominated cinematic landscape.
The organizers emphasize the importance of discussion and dialogue, inviting the audience to participate in collective discussions after each screening.
All films will be shown in their original language with Uzbek and English subtitles.
