Festival Filministes 2024
Since 2015, Festival Filministes has been organizing discussions in Montréal on contemporary feminist issues through the screening of cinematographic works. The project is dedicated to showcasing recent documentaries, short films, and fiction films. The discussions bring together guests from various backgrounds who offer a feminist and critical perspective on these issues.
The project's mission is to promote films and female directors from here and abroad while creating spaces for discussion and reflection aimed at audiences of all kinds. The festival's specificity lies in the intersection of feminism and cinema.
The 2024 edition will take place from March 6th to 17th in Montréal. Enjoy the festival!

Life then and now
A conversation between a mother and her daughter; memories of passing from the hut to the house.
Summer 2000
Nine year-old Sarah is quietly discovering love when an assault derails her sexual awakening. _Summer 2000_ is an intimate and delicate tale in which the play between different mediums offers an insight into gender performativity and consent.
ژن (Woman)
_ژن (Woman)_ is the first part of a trilogy that, from the perspective of the Iranian diaspora, engages with the feminist revolution in Iran. Through documentary media featuring female protesters in the streets, the film presents their civil disobedience as a collective performance, and probes the emerging discourse of woman, life and freedom.
Casa Bonjardim
From a narrow street in the city of Porto, curious and perplexed eyes meet in front of the slow demolition of a ruined Portuguese house. As this ruin crumbles day by day, the busy street changes its face. What will be left once the ruin will be gone?
