The Space Between
16/10, Friday, 18:00, Rialto on Stage
The need to live in-between: between languages, places, versions of yourself, and the decision not to choose just one. A programme featuring films by women filmmakers who offer their personal perspectives on the female experience of displacement, dual identity, and the search for belonging in contemporary geographical space. Through diverse cinematic approaches, these films capture the complexity of the female experience in a world in constant motion.
Curated by the National Pre-selection Committee (Adonis Florides, Doros Demetriou, Yianna Americanou, Peter Cerovšek).
