Official POSTER 2026 WOMEN AND THE WORLD — COSMIC KALI

We are proud to present Cosmic Kali, the Poster artwork for the Women and the World International Film Festival, Women and the World International Film Festival created by British-Ukrainian artist Mariya Dykalo M A R I Y A . D Y K A L O . L O N D O N

Rendered in deep blue and gold, the work carries a subtle echo of Ukraine — a country forced to reclaim its power in the midst of darkness.

Kali embodies the fierce and complex nature of feminine energy: strength and vulnerability, creation and destruction, stillness and transformation. She does not ask permission to take up space. She reminds us that a woman’s power was never lost — only silenced.

As Mariya Dykalo writes:

“At the centre is the woman.
Around her, the world.
And between them, there is no separation.

We carry the world within us, just as we are part of the world itself.”

The AGE of the “GOOD GIRL” IS OVER.

“Well-behaved women seldom make history.”
— Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

It is time for women to reclaim their strength — to be whole, instinctive, fearless and free.

The Women and the World International Film Festival takes place in London from 5–12 November 2026.

ONE PANEL. A GLOBAL CONVERSATION BEGINS.

At OFF – Odense International Film Festival, Women and the World International Film Festival launched a new international series of panels exploring a different way of understanding women’s work in cinema.

Not only how women are seen on screen — but how they create, lead, care, hold power and redefine the filmmaking process behind the camera.

Our first conversation, with Diêm Camille, Stephanie Stål Axelgård and Freja Refning Hansen, was held with the participation of Women in Film Denmark

A full house for The Female Gaze at Odense International Film Festival OFF - Odense Film Festival

Together with Women and the World International Film Festival in participation Women in Film and Television - DK Women in Film and Television Denmark, we opened an honest conversation about who holds the power behind the camera, how women are represented on screen, and whether care, consent and responsibility limit creativity — or help us create braver and stronger work.

The room was full, and so was the conversation. It showed us how important and urgent these questions remain.

Thank you to OFF – Odense International Film Festival for giving us the space to raise them, and to our brilliant panellists Diêm Camille Diêm , Stephanie Stål Axelgård stephanice and Freja Refning Hansen Freja Refning Hansen for their honesty, experience and courage.

The gaze is never neutral — and this conversation is only beginning…. 🫂

✨ Today I’m holding British Cinematography magazine in my hands — one of the UK’s respected industry publications dedicated to the art, craft and people behind moving images.

And inside this issue, there is a feature about the International Film Festival Women and the World.
For someone who moved to the UK only three years ago, this feels truly surreal. To see our festival recognised in a British film industry magazine is a huge milestone, a dream, and a very emotional moment.

I’m deeply grateful to British Cinematography for this attention, and incredibly proud of our whole festival team. ❤️
