​Over the next few weeks, we are going to publish lists of film festivals from all over the world with a focus on feminism, women in film or the LGBTQ+ community - but we need your help!

This week, we begin with festivals in Europe. 

If you know of other festivals not on our list, please tell us your additions in the comments section below, or on Facebook or Instagram, and include a link to the festival’s website if possible.
