Animated women
Since 2018, the festival has been creating the traveling animated film festival Donne Animate, dedicated to women’s issues, equal opportunities and gender-based violence.
This initiative stems from the awareness of the role of the media in combating and preventing gender-based violence, as stated by the Istanbul Convention in art. 17.
