WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - eMusicWire -- (West Palm Beach, FL – January 8, 2025) The Donald M. Ephraim Sun & Stars International Film Festival© (SASIFF), presented by MorseLife, returns for its third season with screenings at the Rinker Playhouse at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (Jan. 23-Jan. 30, 2025) and EVO Entertainment Delray Marketplace (Jan. 31-Feb. 2, 2025). Nearly half of the more than two-dozen world-class movies from all over the world were either directed by women or are female focused.
"Representing one-third of the Sun & Stars 27-film program, we have nine films directed by women. In the earliest days of the silent movies, women were directors, writers, editors, and of course actors. As the infant art rapidly developed into a lucrative industry worldwide, women working in roles behind the camera were largely edged out as misogyny reigned, a situation that is now slowly reversing," says Barbara Scharres, SASIFF Artistic Director. "The blockbuster status of contemporary films including Barbie has underlined the fact that given the opportunity, women filmmakers bring new ideas and big talent to the table—and make money doing it."

"Women directors have what it takes. Come to the Sun & Stars International Film Festival and see for yourself," she adds.
For example, Italian actress Paola Cortellesi leveraged the power of her fame to write, direct, and star in THERE'S STILL TOMORROW, Italy's biggest box office hit in many years. WILD DIAMOND by Agathe Riedinger competed for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, where HOLY COW by Louise Courvoisier won the Youth Prize. A critic pronounced SASIFF's closing night film THE FRENCH ITALIAN by American independent director Rachel Wolther "the funniest New York movie in years."
