                                            STORY TIME!
UNMUTED had the honor of screening Cutting Season at the 10th Annual Imagine This Women’s International Film Festival in NYC on September 11.
The festival brought together:
• 97+ groundbreaking films
• 63 trailblazing screenplays
• 48 premieres from 20+ countries
• Panels, parties, and unforgettable connections
We were proud to be part of such a thoughtfully curated lineup of diverse stories. During our screening and post-film conversations, it became clear just how urgent and under-discussed the topic of female ge***al mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) remains.
One audience member shared that they had encountered FGM/C in their practice but had not been fully equipped with the information or resources at the time. This moment reminded us of the critical importance of involving medical professionals in these conversations and expanding access to knowledge, healing, and prevention.
We are now exploring ways to collaborate with doctors, hospitals, and organizations to host screenings, facilitate Q&As, and highlight the groundbreaking work of experts like Dr. Marci Bowers in cl****al restoration.
🙏 Thank you to the festival organizers, fellow filmmakers, and everyone who joined us for the screening. The dialogue continues, and we are committed to keeping it going.
