Ces femmes connaissent leur valeur et ont activé leur potentiel afin d’accomplir des missions bien au-delà des limites attendues des femmes dans leurs sociétés, tout en tendant activement la main à celles qui suivent.
Le festival se tient du 23 au 31 août 2024 à Harare, au Zimbabwe.
Le festival est organisé chaque année par l’Institute of Creative Arts for Progress in Africa (ICAPA) Trust. Fondé en 2002, le Festival international du film d’images pour les femmes (IIFF) est un festival annuel qui se tient à Harare et qui est une plate-forme d’exposition pour les films qui dépeignent une femme dans au moins un rôle majeur, fournissant ainsi un modèle aux femmes africaines pour observer d’autres femmes dans le cinéma être actives, faire preuve d’agentivité et avoir un impact positif sur leur propre vie. sur leurs communautés et leurs nations.
La sélection de films de l’IIFF adopte une approche intersectionnelle des problèmes sociaux, économiques et personnels des femmes, explorant comment le genre, la race, la classe, la colonisation, le patriarcat, le néofascisme, la mondialisation, la technologie numérique et le changement climatique ont tous un impact sur la vie des femmes. L’IIFF s’intéresse également aux défis à long terme du maintien de la paix. De plus, le festival explique la communauté féminine à la communauté masculine. Les nombreux segments de l’IIFF, tels que New Man et World View, fournissent des intrigues avec des perspectives mondiales qui s’étendent au-delà du contexte de la femme africaine. De toutes ces manières, l’IIFF promeut la tolérance, la compréhension et le développement démocratique.

English
Founded in 2002, IIFF is an annual festival held in Harare that is an exhibition platform for films that portray a woman in at least one major role, thus providing role modelling for African women to observe other women in film being active, displaying agency and impacting positively on their own lives and communities. The festival is hosted each year by the Institute of Creative Arts for Progress in Africa (ICAPA) Trust.
IIFF films allow for engagement with women’s problems and lives, as well as an explanation of women to the male community, encouraging tolerance and understanding. Films screened for national Zimbabwean and international African audiences include features, documentaries, shorts and animation that inform and challenge the audience. The positive discourse of IIFF films also focuses on doing away with practices that no longer serve and empower women. IIFF focuses on building institutions and platforms that reinforce women’s dignity and self-respect. IIFF screenings are followed by group discussions on the gender dimensions raised by the film at all venues, both urban and rural. Over the years IIFF has developed into a hub where women film-makers network.
