Is there such a thing as strictly feminine cinema? Is it more difficult for a woman than for a man to direct a film? Is gender parity necessary in the industry? Actress and producer Julie GAYET and actor and director Mathieu BUSSON ask these questions to twenty French woman filmmakers, who face a camera together for the first time. After over an hour of lively, informal, spontaneous and funny interviews, it becomes obvious that these issues are still problematic and definitely worthy of a documentary. As Mia HANSEN-LØVE remarks, “In the eyes of the people, a woman’s film is always a woman’s film, while a man’s movie is simply… a movie”.

Alexandre Astier, Adèle Gasparov

The movie is called 14 Millions Screams because 14 millions young girls are forced to be married every year. As of today 700 Million women were married before the age of 15. I hope that with this movie everybody can imagine their own children and realize how those screams are not bearable anymore.
