The Kutaisi International Short Film Festival, known for promoting arthouse cinema and facilitating cultural and social dialogue, hosted a screening of Pedro Almodóvar’s debut film ‘Pepi, Luci, Bom, and Other Girls Like Mom’ recognized for its bold portrayal of social issues and sexuality in post-Franco Spain.
The highlight of the event was the attendance and speech by Eva Siva, the film’s leading actress, who shared details about the behind-the-scenes process of the film and discussed the social and political environment of 1980s Spain.
Siva’s personal insights provided the audience with a broader context of the film’s influence on feminism and LGBTQ+ rights, which are still relevant today.
