Le 10e anniversaire du TorinoFilmLab est féminin
Jessica Woodworth présente son nouveau projet, Fortress, au TorinoFilmLab

Cet article est disponible en anglais.

There are twenty-two projects in the initial development phase, twelve at the more advanced and flexible production award stage and more than 30 countries represented internationally, including China, Indonesia, Vietnam. But among the titles presented at the TorinoFilmLab programs, ScriptLab and FeatureLab, there was almost exclusively one topic on the menu: women. Be them young, old, working women, daughters, mothers: the new directors participating in Turin want to tell "female" stories, maybe more so than the female filmmakers themselves. "It's a strong theme in this edition, which surprised us," says Savina Neirotti, director of TFL, "there is a profound reflection on women - men are beginning to look at us differently. A process of knowledge is at the heart of real dialogue. And considering recent tensions, if the artistic world is reflecting on this relationship, it means we are headed in the right direction."
