 Very happy to say that Because Goddess is Never Enough will be part of the upcoming Dona i Cinema biennial festival in Valencia in Spain, showing on the first day of the screening programme on 30th January. The festival seeks "to give visibility to artistic productions by women, given their absence in all areas of the film industry, from artistic creation to distribution".
Sunderland Shorts is a great festival to be part of - I was very pleased that Because Goddess is Never Enough was part of the experimental screening. Very well supported and organised, this quick review gives a flavour of the festival.
Thank you Sunderland! |
