ar friends, it is with great joy that I invite you to the premiere of our documentary film Elles, les (in)visibles! Thanks to your support, we have managed to finalise this beautiful project! The film is currently in post-production, and we have the pleasure of having the premier on Sunday 27th June at the Cinema du Grütli in Geneva at 2pm as part of the Geneva International Oriental Film Festival (FIFOG). Due to sanitary conditions, the capacity will be of 100 people and you will be able to buy some tickets online and others on the spot at the entrance (15chf). In any case, I will also organise a second screening in July in a cinema in Geneva for those who cannot come on June 27th.

By the end of June, beginning of July I will also send you your counterparts. Thank you again for your incredible support! We are so happy that this project has come true - thanks to you! Maevia and the team of Elles, les (in)visibles

ar all, Here are some news about the project. I have just finished the editing, a very intense period of work. Two weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of showing the film to the women participating in the project. It was a powerful moment, full of emotions - they were meeting for the first time. We gathered around this film that told their stories; we cried, we laughed and they felt united in their strengths, their challenges and their life paths. It was a beautiful moment, and they also confirmed that they agreed with the way I had told the story. I then sent the editing to Dorian for the composition of the soundtrack and the final mix, to Moïse who collaborates on the soundtrack, to Mehdi who will do the color grading (color of the image) to Marie who is finishing her beautiful animations and to Luc the chief operator who continues to support me on this project. We are all so happy to see this project take shape and become a reality thanks to your support. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! Another good news, the premiere of the film will be for sure at the Festival du Film Oriental de Genève (FIFOG) between June 21-27 in Geneva. I’m waiting for more details about the date and time and I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again for your support, and I attahced a great article from the Agenda culturel de l’arc Lémanique about our film if you wish to have a look.

WEMADEIT! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of you for your incredible support, your solidarity, your encouragement and your feedback that touched us so much! Thanks to you we have reached 215% of our initial goal, this will allow the team to be paid for its incredible work, and we will be able to carry out the promotion and distribution of the film! The film will be finished by the end of June and we hope to have the premiere at the Geneva International Oriental Film Festival (FIFOG) during that time. In July we will send you your counterparts, until then we are working on the editing and post-production.

Here is the second episode. Thank you again so much to you all!

Tuesday evening, February 23rd, thanks to the collaboration of Wemakeit and Rouge Fm, I had the chance to be on the radio to talk about our documentary film project! Hope you enjoy it!

We still have 20 days to reach our extended goal of 10’000 CHF! Your incredible support and solidarity never ceases to move us and motivate us to carry out this project in the name of this subject that is so important to our hearts! THANK YOU!

Thanks to you we have reached our first goal!!! A huge thank you to all of you for your incredible support, the wave of solidarity around this theme, the sharing and your so encouraging feedback! We are so grateful! We still have 26 more days of campaigning and we hope to reach our new objective of 10’000 CHF to help us with the post-production such as the colour grading and then the diffusion of the film in different cultural places, events, festivals etc.

The theme of undocumented women needs visibilising more than ever during this period of confinement and with the recent police raids in Geneva, forcing them to remain in the dark… Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support! Maevia, Marie, Luc, Dorian and Moïse.
