North Macedonia’s Teona Mitevska (“Mother”) and French director Céline Sciamma (“Portrait of a Lady on Fire”) are among the filmmakers who will launch an initiative at the Sarajevo Film Festival that looks to reshape the role of women in the film and TV industries with a “bold, punk and revolutionary” vision of an inclusive and sustainable screen sector.

Dubbed Sister Sister, the initiative aims to foster sisterhood and togetherness with women working across professions and disciplines in film and television. It will include a think tank at this year’s Sarajevo festival bringing together female filmmakers, producers, writers and academics from the former Yugoslavia to explore the future of women’s authorship in the region’s cinema.
