AVA FILMS
Based in Berlin, Germany
AVA Film Production is an intersectional, feminist, and queer network for filmmakers. The production aims to collect a new generation of filmmakers and represent their works that choose a non-normative approach to storytelling. The collective produces, distributes, and introduces art house films of trans, non-binary, BIPOC, and female filmmakers.
AWA Collective is a filmmaking network for everyone who tries to look at the world through a non-normative lens and change the cis-normative, patriarchal, and white supremacist systems, particularly in cinema.

San Sebastian, CPH:DOX, FID Marseille, Frauen Film Festival Dortmund-Köln, Dok Fest München, Shorts Mexico, and Glasgow Shorts among many others.
