Grad Film invites the NYU Community to a special screening and conversation in celebration of International Women's Day!

On March 9th, Grad Film will host a screening of the Academy Award-nominated film Belén. The film also received the 2026 Goya Award-winner for Best Ibero-American Film.

The screening will be followed by an in-person conversation with the filmmaker and actress Dolores Fonzi!

Belén (2025) tells the true story of a young woman in Tucumán, Argentina, who was unjustly criminalized and imprisoned after experiencing an obstetric emergency. Her case became one of the most emblematic in Argentina’s reproductive justice movement - a powerful symbol of the fight against institutional violence and the policing of women’s reproductive lives. Central to this story is Soledad Deza, Belén’s attorney, whose legal advocacy and movement organizing helped secure Belén’s freedom and contributed to the momentum of Argentina’s “Green Wave,” culminating in the historic legalization of abortion in 2020.

This is an in-person event, open to the NYU students, faculty, and staff only.  Seating is first come, first served.
