Now in its third year, the initiative will run online from 25 November to 10 December, between the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women and International Human Rights Day.
And for the second consecutive year, Modern Films has partnered with the Kering Foundation, which has been combating violence against women since 2008.
Together, these organisations champion female-identifying filmmakers internationally, providing a platform in which they can share stories that increase visibility about gender-based violence and in turn, create a dialogue to empower women and push for change.
16 finalists will be chosen from the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, and for the first time, from Mexico and the United States. One short film will be released each day between 25 November and 10 December on both Modern Films and the Kering Foundation online platforms, and the film will also be shared by the specialist organisation NGOs Chayn Italia in Italy, En avant toute(s) in France, Fondo Semillas in Mexico, NNEDV in the U.S and the UK Says No More campaign in the UK.
Myriam Raja's You Are Not Alone campaign video for UK Says No More can now be viewed online above.
