Two panel discussions will take place as part of the 25th Women’s Worlds Film Festival. The Social Impact Filming panel will focus on the question of how artistic creation and activist engagement can be linked and what responsibility filmmakers have to initiate social change. In the panel discussion on the topic #Cinema Against Forgetting – Focus on Afghanistan, three Afghan women will discuss how women and girls in Afghanistan are systematically excluded from education, work, and public life, and what external support is possible to make their rights visible and strengthen them.
