had the best time on the press line for the new Billie Jean King documentary during Sundance 2026! From the direction of Liz Garbus () and Elizabeth Wolff to the brilliant score by Laura Karpman, the energy was electric!

Set in Gran Canaria, the film follows estranged sisters Lily, played by Renate Reinsve, and Diana, played by Helene Bjørneby, as they reunite after their mother’s death and inherit her unfinished esoteric retreat connected to her younger lover, Chato, played by Numan Acar.
Blending professionals with non actors and real locations, Butterfly is an intimate family drama shaped by a deeply collaborative process. We spoke with Guttormsen about reinvention, sibling bonds, and invented truths.
At , Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw () reminded us: “Story is the thing that tells us who we are, where we are, and when we are. When the stories are distorted… we don’t know who we are.”

Cinema Femme is the voice of the female film experience. We are a media platform that elevates the diverse voices of women in film, from film critics and filmmakers to moviegoers.
But we are not just a media platform—we are a movement. We are a community that encompasses those who watch, those who make, and those who review.
Our main goal is to impact film culture internationally by sharing our film experiences.
ESSAYS:
Our personal essays are meant to highlight film in our culture today. These essays, written by women, are focused on a singular female-fronted film; the writers share their analysis, reflections, and criticisms of the film.
INTERVIEWS:
Our interviews help women grow and learn how to work within the film industry. We feature interviews with female creators, covering their personal stories, projects they’re working on, and changes they’re seeing in the industry.
EVENTS:
Our voices ring out louder when we support each other. Through our events, we hope to become a resource for creators at any point in their career to grow and connect with others.
The allyship of sisterhood is such a strong connection that we at Cinema Femme are proud to uphold so that women-identifying creators have a place within our society that has previously swept them under the rug.
