Women's Tales
Women's Tales is an ongoing short film series created by fashion brand Miu Miu and launched in 2012 in partnership with the Venice Film Festival. Since an initial launch of four short films, Miu Miu has continued to commission two films a year. Aside from the stipulation that the films use Miu Miu clothing the directors are given carte-blanche to create their films.
The series also works only with women directors, employing some of the most prominent female directors in the world.
