A Camera of Their Own is a project promoted by Isola Edipo, Rete Cinema in Laguna, and Ca’ Foscari, under the curation of Silvia Jop, Marco Dalla Gassa, Alessandro Del Re, and Giulia Briccardi, dedicated to the female perspective in contemporary international cinema.
Aimed at highlighting the skills and sensitivities of women in the field of cinema and audiovisual languages, it will consist of a series of events with filmmakers and artists who have demonstrated, through their works, the ability to view the world from original, radical, personal perspectives, linked (but not limited) to a gender perspective.
