The Feminale in Cologne is Germany's oldest feminist film festival. It has been held annually since 1984.
The Feminale was founded by students of film theory from the University of Cologne. Participating films must be made by females. They cover a broad spectrum of film genres, including experimental films and short films.
The festival aims to voice the concerns of women in the film industry. It provides female film makers with a platform for presenting their work to the public, and encourages presentation and discussion of changes in film aesthetics from a female point of view.
