Köln International Women’s Film Festival
IIAWH will play in Cologne next month! Looking forward to it.
The International Women’s Film Festival Dortmund | Cologne, presents a broadbased programme with around 100 films made by women directors from all over the world.
‘I’m In Away From Here’ will compete in the ‘Panorama’ section:
Works that are remarkable for offbeat perspectives or the joy of technical experimentation always find great interest at the festival. Which means that up-and-coming women directors can have the chance to present their first film at a festival – as can old friends whose careers we have been following for some years now.
