Indian cinema is hugely influential in creating cultural mores in India, and indeed the world. Our collaboration with the Geena Davis Institute is another strong step in that direction. FLO is the oldest business chamber for women in South Asia, and is working on its mission to economically empower women for the last 32 years. We do this by creating entrepreneurial motivation amongst women, training, skill development with employer tie-ups, and encouraging women to take up more non-traditional jobs. We also work at changing gender stereotypes amongst both men and women. While the Indian constitution grants equal rights to women, and India has some of the most progressive laws in the world, gender inequality shows up visibly in many measures. Through the Festival, we aspire to take steps towards making an indelible imprint in the minds of filmmakers to change gender stereotypes, and in the process, influence millions of Indians. 4 Messages Falguni Padode Chairperson FLO (Mumbai) The FLO Film Festival was conceptualised with the intention of giving a platform to the wonderful initiatives of FLO (FICCI Ladies Organisation) all within the realm of women’s empowerment. Films being the great unifier that they are – play a critical role in sending out strong messages in our country of over 1,600 dialects. The festival meant for both men and women, is intended to buttress the work that FLO does towards empowering women, and so women-centric films that reinforce these messages have made the cut. We hope that the messages conveyed through this selection have a meaningful and lasting impact, with filmmakers making an effort to change stereotypes by portraying more women in varied roles in cinema, and striving to highlight the struggles that women continue to face today. Rashmi Lamba Festival Director, FLO Film Festival Greetings and welcome to the first FLO Film Festival. Using ‘Reel Woman Power’ to initiate real change and a paradigm shift in gender perceptions underlies the theme of the FLO Film Festival.
