"The Festival (first initiated by women's film studio, Tatiana and the Belarusian Union of Cinematographers in 1991) is designed to bring women film-makers, journalists, scholars, and many others to Minsk for a week of opportunities to watch films, participate in discussions, and share ideas. The 1995 Festival attracted film-makers from 19 countries. One of the challenges of the 1997 Festival is to heighten cultural understanding through films - and to keep us all aware and concerned of the problems women and men face at the threshold of the third millenium, as well as of the situation confronting film-makers."
"Accompanying the Festival is a conference organized to explore such topics as power over women (or women and power through culture), the way women feel about themselves and the world around them at the end of the 20th century ("women's identity"), and gender and films."
"The format of the conference is three roundtables of three to four hours, one on each day of the Festival. We encourage participation by researchers capable of speaking non-academically and captivatingly on the topics mentioned, as well as by artists, critics, political and NGO activists."
"Deadline: April 1, 1997; though some presentations may be added later. We will appreciate any support (financial and organizational, as well as ideas)."
