Vierte Welle Festival #niunamenos (3)

Início do Festival: 01 Outubro 2022      Fim do Festival: 09 Outubro 2022

The Vierte Welle Films Festival aims to give visibility to female, transmasculine and non binari artists and raise awareness about gender inequality, citizen participation, prevent prejudice, fight against discrimination, and recognize rights through audiovisual content, MADE BY WOMEN*, of the so-called fourth-wave feminism.
Fourth-wave feminism is articulated by creating audiovisual and written content of a philosophical, political, economic, social, ecological, and cultural nature, academic or not, and disseminating the same through social networks and traditional media.
The first festival’s edition was in 2019 in Berlin.
The festival is organized by Karne Kunst in collaboration with Sorora e.V and Xochicuicatl e.V. The team responsible for the festival consists of women, mainly with a migration background, and feminist activists in various groups and organizations.
In addition to the screening, the festival is complemented by a comprehensive program including free activities open to the public.

We strongly encourage submissions from artists who experience multiple forms of oppression from Black, Indigenous, and people of color and artists with disabilities, queer, trans, and non-binary/gender-nonconforming people.

Registration for the Festival has a fee, but it can be applied for free using VIERTEWELLE2022.
