Women's Cinema Collective
A category built for women behind the camera. Spotlighting films directed by women across genre, form and geography, from intimate character studies to bold formal experiments.
Curated by a jury of women filmmakers, critics and industry leaders. Short cinema, told on their own terms.
ABOUT THE LOGOA downward triangle forms the base of the mark, the traditional kolam symbol for women and femininity. Layered squares build into a lotus shape, a nod to Saraswati, with the overall silhouette evoking a mother figure. Purple represents women internationally, with hints of yellow standing in for adornment.
