Berlin’s First Film Event for Women in Sci-Fi@Berlin Loves You

Final Girls Film Fest is a powerful force in this ever-important fight toward the creation of spaces for female voices in the art world. Now preparing for its fifth consecutive festival this upcoming February at b-ware! Ladenkino, FGFF is committed to showcasing horror films created by women — “anyone with the female experience, past or present,” inclusive of trans people. But throughout the years of fighting against the “tokenization of women as objects or pretense victims” (you know the old horror tropes: screeching blonde women with ruby red, splattering blood), the organizers discovered yet another film genre generally void of women: sci-fi.
