The extraordinary life story of science fiction and fantasy writer Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) who, in spite of remaining for many years on the sidelines of the mainstream literature, managed to be recognized as one of the most remarkable US writers of all time, due to the relevance of her work and her commitment to the human condition.

A gripping and inspiring biographical drama based on the life and struggles of a feminist writer.

A dark and disturbing adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s controversial gothic feminist horror story about patriarchy and hysteria. Jane, a writer and young mother, is prescribed a rest treatment by her physician husband John, who takes her to a remote country estate for the summer. She becomes obsessed with the peculiar yellow wallpaper in the bedroom he has chosen for her. In her isolation, she secretly writes about a woman trapped in the wallpaper—that she must free.

A woman becomes increasingly isolated and starts to unravel as a result.

An adaptation of a classic story, Her Trifles expores the mistery of a sudden death, the bond among women and the efficiency of a limited view.

Jill Godmilow (Far From Poland, Waiting for the Moon) in collaboration with Joanna Krakowska and Magda Mosiewicz pay homage to the original SCUM Manifesto, a French film made in 1976 by Carole Roussopoulos and Delphine Seyrig that was inspired by Valerie Solanas’s infamous text of the same name. Much like Solanas’s radical feminist text, SCUM Manifesto is a form of resistance and a call to action.

In 'The Feminist on Cellblock Y', the film delves into the intersection of feminism and toxic masculinity within the confines of a prison. It examines the struggles of incarcerated individuals as they navigate traditional gender roles, objectification, and fitting in. The documentary also tackles topics such as drug addiction, suicide, and the impact of patriarchy in the prison system. Through the lens of gender stereotypes and the need for rehabilitation, it sheds light on the challenges faced by inmates in a patriarchal society.
