When: November 13, 2025 at 4:30 pm - Where: ICI-NY 686 Park Avenue, NY - What: Launch of inVisibles: The Women Who Pioneered Cinema, with Senator Lucia Borgonzoni, Undersecretary of State at the Italian Ministry of Culture, and Antonio Saccone, President of Cinecittà.
As cinema took its very first steps, women were already there, shaping its journey, and not just as spectators but as protagonists – both in front of and behind the camera – in movies that everyone was hailing in theaters.
Early cinema didn’t discriminate: it set off with women, just as well. Actually, in many Western countries – Italy, France, the United States – the silent era saw the strongest presence of women in the film industry.
