For this #28 session, which happens on the July 29th at 21h00, FEMME SESSION presents, in partnership with FILMS FEMME MÉDITERRANÉE, a three short-film’s program about family relationships - accomplices or conflictual.

The FILMS FEMMES MEDITERRANEE Association was founded in 2006. The annual autumn meetings bring together women filmmakers from around the Mediterranean. Its objective is the discovery of new and confirmed talents.
