The association Imágenes del Sur / Bilder från Söder has been running two annual film festivals in Malmö for more than 20 years: Latinamerika i Fokus (LAIF) and the International Female+ Film Festival Malmö (IFEMA+).

IFEMA+ wants to be a dynamic and inclusive meeting place where women+ filmmakers, audiences, film students, researchers and industry players meet to exchange experiences, knowledge and inspiration. Our vision is to strengthen women’s+ position in film and other artistic expressions, to create sustainable networks and to be a platform for dialogue on gender equality from an intersectional perspective and experiences. 

With + we want to signal that we welcome contributions from queer, trans and non-binary people. We want to highlight the importance of the audience having access to women’s+ images and perspectives on the world and strive to contribute to a more equal, inclusive and long-term sustainable film industry in the Nordic region.
