Emily Hubley: We will present an exciting package of films by one who has not remained under the shadow of an accomplished mother.

Lisa Hayes: Another young Canadian director. She looks at the problem of sexual preference from a different window.

Hilda Hidalgo: The Costa Rican director, who had her education in Cuba, participates in the Festival with her films narrating her country and its tales.

Selected by Rakhsan: Is the development recently seen in the Iranian cinema the result of the country's successful cinema policy? We are trying to find an answer to the question through a package of 15 short films that Rakhsan Bani Etemad has chosen from young Iranian artists.

- SHORT FILM SCREENPLAY CONTEST

The Flying Broom, within the framework of the 5. International Women's Films Festival (2-9 May 2002) is organizing a Short Film Screenplay Contest. We encourage all participants to write a short film screenplay and in this way remember, authenticate and accumulate their own stories. This year the subject for the screenplays is chastity and the genre is comedy.

We have received forty-two works for this year's contest. The assessment committee, which consists of İnci Demirkol, Gülden Treske and Sündüz Haşar, has selected 16 out of the screenplays, which were written in accordance with the conditions.

The writers of the sixteen screenplays selected by the committee have been invited as festival guests to participate in a workshop for a training program of screenplay writing, which will be led by Işıl Özgentürk. In the workshop they will work on how to transform a story to a screenplay step by step. The screenplay contest has no pecuniary benefit, but rather it will provide an opportunity for the participants to develop themselves in screenplay writing. Last year's participants completed the workshop successfully. The workshop that is to be done this year will also immensely contribute to our future work.
