Miu Miu Elevates Women’s Tales Series at Venice Film Fest

Miu Miu Announces Venice Program and Launch of the Miu Miu Women’s Tales Committee: The Brand Expands its Renowned Feminist Cinema Commissioning Platform at Venice Film Festival

Miu Miu has announced that the latest entry in its Women’s Tales film series will premiere at the Venice Film Festival during its Giornate degli Autori segment. The film was directed by the Cannes Camera d’Or prize winning Croatian filmmaker Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović. The series’ 25th commission, Eye two times mouth by Mexican independent film director, screenwriter, and producer Lila Aviles, will be shown as well.

A two-day conversation program taking place on September 3 rd and 4th, and hosted by The Gentlewoman’s Penny Martin, is set to bring together Miu Miu Women’s Tales directors, advocates, and advisors to discuss the contemporary environment for women in filmmaking, with all its challenges and ground-breaking opportunities.

During this occasion, the brand will also launch the Miu Miu Women’s Tales Committee, a group of distinguished leaders and thinkers in the world of film who will steward the influential short-film series into its next era. The committee comprises award-winning filmmaker (and director of Women’s Tales #5) Ava DuVernay, renowned actor, writer, and director Maggie Gyllenhaal, and two-time Academy Award winning costume, production- and set-designer Catherine Martin, alongside co-founding Committee members Miuccia Prada and Verde Visconti. Together, the Committee will shape the intellectual, cultural and industry direction of Women’s Tales.

Now in its second decade of visionary activity, Miu Miu Women’s Tales remains one of the only consistent commissioning platforms exclusively for female filmmakers. The Committee’s mission includes outreach to new fans, creators, and viewers; evolving the Women’s Tales mission to synchronize with developments in the film world; generate renewed visibility for the Women’s Tales universe; and critically reframe the Women’s Tales narrative moving forward.
