UN Women organizes the first Women’s Film Week
Date:
In order to celebrate the International Women’s Day on Friday the 8th of March 2013, UN Women Jordan Office organized the “Women Film Week” from the 8th to the 14th of March 2013.
During a week, UN Women, in partnership with the local not for profit organization, Aat Network of Women Artists and the Royal Film Commission, screened 18 films in three different venues (Al‐Balad Theatre, the Royal Film Commission and the Rainbow Theater) downtown Amman.
Films (both fiction and documentary films) dealt with women issues. UN Women invited the different embassies present in Jordan to submit a film of their choice. Eleven embassies eventually contributed to provide twelve films. Along with Aat and UN‐Women’s own films, a total of 18 films were screened during the event.
