In its fourth year, the Women's International Film Festival will focus on a strong Korean and Indian section of feature films, short films and documentaries as well as a section on World Cinema in all the three categories. Every effort will be made to initiate discussions with film practitioners and viewers to enhance our understanding of this debatable question of what constitutes "a woman's film". The World Cinema section of the Festival showcases films from countries as varied as Algeria, China, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuadar, Ghana, Holland, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Nicaragua, Rwanda, Venezuela, Uzbekistan, Trinidad & Tobago, Tunisia and South Africa, to name but a few. With variety and range, this Festival promises a rich haul of 135 films from 51 countries which will be screened over 9 days at the Russian Centre of Science & Culture, 74 Kasturi Ranga Road, Alwarpet, Chennai.
The 4th Samsung Women's International Film Festival is curated by InKo Centre. We have as our principal curator, Dr. Vasanthi Sankaranarayanan, a film researcher and scholar based in Chennai. The International Women's Film Festival in Seoul and two coordinators from the Korea National University of Arts, assist us in curating the Korean section of this Festival.
