HER Film Festival
HER Film Festival: inspiring movies about powerful women!
From March 7 to 16 we offer a carefully selected rang of great movies about powerful women from around the world as part of HER Film Festival. The movies will only be available for viewers in the Netherlands.
Stories that need to be heard
With HER Film Festival, Simavi and Cinetree are joining forces for the fifth time to draw attention to equality. We do this around 8 March: International Women's Day. We believe International Women's Day is the time to use film to draw attention to the position of women and to start the conversation about the importance of equal rights.
The festival gives a voice to stories that need to be heard. The 2025 programme will consist of 5 films, which together demonstrate the power of women. This is not just about the women in our films. But also all those women and girls who have inspired filmmakers: those who stand up for their rights every day. All these stories form the basis for the festival's film selection.Like the moving and Oscar-winning drama ‘Una Mujer Fantastica’ that tells trans woman Marina Vidal's story of courage and self-acceptance in modern and ruthless Santiago. Or the Italian blockbuster C'è Ancora Domani about a housewife and her tyrannical husband in 1946 Rome.
