SONIA SILK OPERATION

Anthology of three feature films produced cooperatively, with the same cast and crew.

In 2015, the films hit theaters in the following cities: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo,Vitória, Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte. It is currently being shown on CanalBrasil TV channel and VOD platforms.

Four female artists were invited to develop projects inspired by other women’s stories. Following their creative process, the film reflects on art, activism, and the challenges of feminism today. Ana Luisa Santos (Brazil), Bia Ferreira (Brazil), Florencia Duran (Uruguay) and Lena Chen (USA) are women from different backgrounds, with different outlooks and unique work. By following artists when they are in the core of their creative process, the documentary "A THOUSAND WOMEN" shows how these women express themselves, where they find inspiration and how they establish a connection between the world outside and their inner life to create meaningful artworks.
