Autumn is in the air and so is movie season. The Women Make Waves Int’l Film Festival is back this year from 16th to 25th October with physical screenings at SPOT-Huashan in Taipei and a wide range of programs which explore the notion of “Femture” ( the future of women and feminism). It stresses the future’s complexity and delivers an introduction that’s open to interpretation.
Among the diverse selections you can enjoy at the 27th edition of the Festival are 3 Swiss titles you wouldn't want to miss. It includes “My Little Sister” (Schwesterlein) by Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond which has entered the race for a nomination in the International Feature Film category for the 93rd Academy Awards.
