Locarno’s Critic’s Week (Semaine de la critique) is an independent event, organised by Switzerland’s national association of film journalists, in cooperation with the director and organisers of the Locarno International Film Festival. Critic’s Week has been held since 1990, and year after year we continue to review state of the art documentary film making, with a selection of productions chosen for their particular expressive value or essence.

Murer, Thomas Riedelsheimer, Nicholas Philibert, Richard Dindo, J. van der Keuken, Zhang Yuan, Davide Ferrario, among others.

Diana suffers from irregular and painful periods. Her gynaecologist prescribes her the usual medication but she suspects that there must be other ways of living with her menstruation. What starts off as innocent curiosity, becomes an emotional voyage to the very roots of femininity and life. Moon Inside You is a fresh look at a taboo that defines the reality of both women and men in a more profound way than society might be willing to admit. An unusual story told with humour and gentle self-irony in which the subject of women is approached through the most elementary and obvious aspect of womanhood.
In 2007, the project was developed within Ex Oriente Film - international workshop of creative documentary film.
