If you listen closely you can hear many tongues speaking in unison, in a cacophony, in rhythm, sometimes with its own beat. As filmmakers we go out into the world to record these voices in the hope they will never be lost. The way we record is as different as the voices we record. At the 16th IAWRT Asian Women’s Festival, we hope to create a space where we can collectively listen to the voice speaking at a distance, the whisper, the guffaw, the shout, the song, the sigh. Perhaps, the act of listening and seeing can bring us back to articulating the way women shape and subvert the world we live in. The 16th IAWRT Asian Women's Film Festival will be held at the India International Centre (IIC), New Delhi on March 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2020.
This year we were able to select 52 films from 15 countries from more than 700 entries. These will be screened over three days of the festival. Stay tuned for all the details, block your dates and spread the word!
