Sharon Stone Documentary FEMME To Be Distributed By Vision Films

Vision Films, a worldwide distributor of independent films, has announced today that it has picked-up worldwide rights to the inspirational documentary FEMME, which is directed by Emmanuel Itier (THE INVOCATION, THE MIDNIGHT HOUR), and executive produced and narrated by Sharon Stone (CASINO, BASIC INSTINCT).

FEMME features interviews with many internationally recognized speakers including Sharon Stone, Marianne Williamson, Gloria Steinem, Nobel Peace laureates Shirin Ebadi and Maired Maguire, Maria Bello, Angela Davis, Maria Conchita Alonso, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Mary Buffett, Rickie Lee Jones, Jean Houston and Dr. Sue Morter. The soundtrack of the film includes music and songs from well-known artists such as Annie Lennox, Yoko Ono and Rickie Lee Jones. FEMME, which has played at numerous international film festivals, is currently available for worldwide release. Vision Films will be introducing the documentary for the first time at the upcoming Marché du Film in Cannes.

FEMME is a Celebration of Women around the World transforming and healing our society. As executive-producer Sharon Stone explains: “FEMME is an innovative effort to illuminate the thoughts, voices and insights of women the world over. It is an opportunity for women to be heard and to hear one another in an unfiltered regard on issues that touch the core of the human condition both elegantly and eloquently. We have much to learn about each other and from each other”.

Director Emmanuel Itier (The Invocation) has travelled the 5 continents, filmed in over 20 countries and collected the views of over 100 of the most important women of our time such as Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Shirin Ebadi and Mairead Maguire, as well as Marianne Williamson, Jean Houston, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Vandana Shiva, Angela Davis, Gloria Steinem, Jean Shinoda Bolen, and actresses Sharon Stone, Maria Bello, Maria Conchita Alonso and Traci Lords.

FEMME is a movie that will empower women and inspire them to keep leading in all areas of society: in religion as well as in economics and politics. FEMME is also an education for men to better understand their female partners and to be more in touch with their feminine side in order to become more compassionate and attentive. For Mother Miriam Benedict from Italy to conclude: “It is obvious at this time in History that FEMME is immediately needed. For those who have eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts which are concerned with the continuation of Life on this planet, the bringing of the women of the world in FEMME is a powerful tool. I hope and pray that the men who see FEMME will begin to see women as collaborators and not as threats to be violently subjugated”.

“I have been a fan of Emmanuel’s work since I screened THE INVOCATION, said Lise Romanoff, Managing Director and CEO of Worldwide Distribution. “FEMME is truly a thought-provoking film and I hope our buyers enjoy it.”
