Circle Women Doc Accelerator, an exclusive training program for female-identifying documentary filmmakers, has selected the projects that will take part in its showcase as part of theFor the fourth consecutive year, four alumnae of the program have the opportunity to present their works-in-progress during the Cannes Film Market.
“Ever Since I Knew Myself” by Maka Gogaladze, developed through Circle 2020, follows Maka, the daughter of a strict maths teacher and high-maintenance mother, on her journey around post-Soviet Georgia to observe children in the process of education. This quest is accompanied by her intimate conversation with her mother Nino. Two women of different generations, with different experiences and clashing perspectives, reflect on parenting, education and systems of power.
In “72 Hours” by Anna Savchenko a woman’s life has been incomplete ever since her son was wrongfully accused, sentenced to death and executed within a year. From a grieving mother she transforms to a symbol of the struggle against the death penalty. Today, she shares her painful reminiscences with a theatre group of 4 young people, all displaced for different reasons. They all gather to poetically process the mother and son’s story, combining documentary theatre with media and family archives.
“Through the past three editions, the partnership with Cannes Docs – Marché du Film has flourished and provided us with a valuable platform to showcase the outstanding films of our alumnae. Circle projects previously showcased in Cannes have gone on to achieve major success at international film festivals, propelling the careers of their directors and bringing women to the forefront of the documentary industry,” Circle program director Biljana Tutorov said.
