"In thousands of eyes, in thousands of objects, the city is reflected."

- Walter Benjamin

Just Femme in collaboration with Bangalore Film Society and NGMA is proud to
announce the inaugural edition of ‘pEtE maatu’- the inaugural short and
documentary film festival from 17th to 19th December 2010 at the NGMA
auditorium,  Bengaluru.

City spaces grow, evolve, and respond to men and women differently. Six-lane
roads, a sun-warmed bench in the park, unbroken footpaths, a well-lit bus
stop, clean and fast transportation, safe passage home after dark –
experiences and expectations are as varied as they come.

*pEtE maatu *aims to start conversations around the issue of gender in an
urban context. The right to spaces that are safe, clean, aesthetic and
people-friendly. An aspect of development which is often left
out of the development goals and plans set for the city. This three-day
event will deconstruct the everyday negotiations that women undertake with
the city’s spaces.

• The different kinds of negotiations women undertake in the city spaces.
• Women's right to mobility and safety.
• What makes a woman-safe city?
• What are the steps can be taken by citizens and policy makers to make our
cities safe for
    women

*pEtE maatu* invites your short films, documentaries, photographs and
articles on the theme of urban space that question, provoke and analyze the
issues of gender and city. Impressions, expressions, lucidities, confusions,
longings, maps and homes. The grand narratives of the teeming millions and
yet, the silent walk down a lonely alley.
