Movie Synopsis:

Melmaridè (divorced) is the story of group of women from Piacenza, a small city in the north of Italy, who challenged the disdain of their families and of local institutions by joining the voices of the wider international feminist movement. They first founded a Feminist Collective and later started a public women's health clinic and counselling centre.

The clinic was a self-directed, self-financed and free of charge structure that offered information on birth control, medical examinations, and help on how to get an abortion at the time when abortion was still illegal in Italy. A political act that arose from a profound urgency for personal freedom and self-awareness, the establishment of the clinic united them and radically changed their personal and political viewpoints.

Forty years later, these women find themselves different, older, but still linked by friendship and the same non-conformist spirit, determined in their desire not to forget that experience that had changed them forever.

Following them in their narration, we realised how important it is that this "small" adventure in provincial Italy is not forgotten, because it is thanks to these individual and collective acts of courage that our freedom has been and is possible. This is a collective story that is made of encounters, memories and intimacy among women who are profoundly different but who are all - more or less - happily melmaridè.

Movie Synopsis:

One of the most popular plot lines in literature all around the world - and probably the favorite of women audiences - is the story of a handsome prince who saves a beautiful young woman or raises her up out of poverty and misery, grants her wishes, gives her his love and - of course - a throne, which she certainly deserves because of her kindness, beauty, and various other wonderful qualities. The variations on this theme are countless, from the classic "Cinderella" or "Scarlet Sails" to Chaplin's "City Lights." But we all know that a romantic story is one thing, while life is, alas, something else altogether. And that "something else" depends on the country and era. Our story takes place in today's Russia, and that explains a great deal.

Movie Synopsis:

On a fraction of NASA's budget, space scientists in Mumbai, Raghu, KP and Manchanda, are designing and building instruments for India's first astronomical satellite to explore black holes. But as things start to go wrong, they soon discover the enormity of the challenge they have taken on. Vinita, one of the young women on the Space team, is under great pressure from her parents to get married but is determined to continue in her 'dream job'. On the other side of the Space Centre wall is one of Mumbai's largest slums where, every Saturday, Raghu teaches the children science and tells them about their mission. Filmed over 5 years and with this unique access into the unseen heart of India's Space program, we get an extraordinary insight into contemporary India. A timely film that tells a multi-layered story and takes us on an emotionally compelling journey to space through the eyes of the people involved, as well as those who live next door.

Movie Synopsis:

Six years after his unexpected death in 2013, Seamus Heaney's wife Marie and their three children talk intimately about their family life and read the poems he wrote for them. His surviving brothers remember their childhood and the shared experiences that inspired many of his finest poems. Heaney's unique gifts as a poet and his personal response to the complexity and violence of The Troubles in Northern Ireland are discussed by poets Paul Muldoon and Michael Longley. His students in Harvard, Tracy K Smith (US Poet Laureate) and Kevin Young (poetry editor of The New Yorker) consider the worldwide resonances of his work.
