This VWFF program honors that struggle. Through cinema, we make the struggle visible, remember and resist. A space to imagine a world free from sexist violence. Together, through sisterhood, art and collective memory.
November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. A day to remember, resist and demand justice.
In Latin America, the struggle gained a voice through the “Ni Una Menos” movement.
It became known worldwide on June 3, 2015. Its name was inspired by Mexican poet Susana Chávez: “ni una muerte más” (not one more death) and it was adapted by activist Vanina Escales for the first public demo in Argentina.

ALGO SE ENCIENDE
(A fire burns) OmeU
Upon the disappearance of Anahí Benítez (16), her classmates start a protest and demand that she turns up alive. This is the story of an indelible mark, the years in school as a home and the changes we go through in order to become adults.
Tragedy becomes a turning point in our educational community. It is a direct flashback to our history of disappearances during the Argentine dictatorship.
