Janub Shamoli is a festival of women’s* films from Global South happening in Samarkand and online from August 13th to August 18th. The full program is available here.
This festival is based on films with female gaze, where women* from the Global South tell their stories themselves, challenging mainstream narratives perpetuated by Western male-dominated cinema landscape.
We also find it essential to emphasize the importance of discussions and dialogue, so after each screening, we invite the guests to join in collective discussions. All films will be screened in their original languages, accompanied by Uzbek and English subtitles.
Our primary screening platform will be Art Station, with additional events scheduled at various other venues. Free admission to all events.
We thank The British Council Creative Collaborations program for supporting our festival. We also thank all filmmakers, curators, artists, platforms, collectives, initiatives, organizations, and everyone involved in making this festival possible.
