We are delighted to announce that actress and singer Jasmin Tabatabai will once again serve as the patron of the 25th Womens Worlds Film Festival. Her long-standing commitment to social justice and her artistic versatility make her a valuable and inspiring presence at our festival.
“Most stories are still told from a male perspective. That’s why a festival like Womens Worlds, which is the only one to focus specifically on women’s rights, is so important. Too few stories are told from a female point of view.”
— Jasmin Tabatabai
Each year, the Womens Worlds Film Festival offers a platform for films that center the diverse voices and lived experiences of women from around the world. With Jasmin Tabatabai as our returning patron, we are once again joined by a passionate advocate for cultural diversity and women’s rights. We are very pleased to continue this journey with her and to strengthen our work for equality and self-determination. More information about the film program and supporting events will be published here on our website in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
