In order to fulfill this objective, the Equal Opportunities Area will hold its “XXII FILM SHOW WOMEN ON STAGE”, between the months of October and November 2024.
THE WOMEN ON STAGE FILM EXHIBITION was created in 2002 with the aim of debating, through the holding of cineforums, the existing gender inequalities in our society as well as in other nearby ones, reflecting on their causes and possible social strategies to eradicate them.
Since 2010, this objective of raising awareness and visibility has been added to supporting the presence of women in film production, an area in which there is a large gender gap, taking advantage of the fact that every day there are more women interested in developing their professional careers. In this field, therefore, one of the purposes of the OFFICIAL WOMEN ON STAGE SECTION is the visibility of audiovisual productions made by women, and it is achieved by dedicating the evening sessions to the exclusive projection of works directed, produced or scripted by women .

With focus on traditional film making, where the story and characters are used to draw the audience into the film.
Another Independent International Film Festival (AIIFF) is unlike any other festival you’re going to be a part of. While we would like to see the newest films, we also believe that there are a lot of really good films that have been completed in the past and haven’t been seen by as many audiences as they could have.
AIIFF aims to connect filmmakers with talented people and interested audiences. Our core focus is on traditional film making. Through the love of film we strive to teach diverse audiences about films and making them.
Most film festivals will ask for only the newest films, with premiere status given to them. We’re the opposite of this idea, we want films completed BEFORE August 2015, if you have a film that was made sometime between August 1, 1890 and January 1, 2016, and have the rights to screen it, then we want to see your film!
AIIFF is a fund raiser for Chippewa Valley Community Television – The organization’s mission includes educating interested individuals of all ages about film and television production, civil discourse civic engagement, understanding what it means to live in a ‘free society’, and how to engage intelligently with one’s elected officials. All funds collected from the film festival go directly to helping Chippewa Valley Community Television.
