On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the documentary Ni Primera Ni Dama – The Last First Lady (2025) by Barbara Cupisti will be screened at a special evening event at the Cinematheque of the Republic of North Macedonia, in Skopje.

The event is organized by the Italian Embassy in Skopje in collaboration with the Cinematheque, as part of a series of events dedicated to the transformative power of female leadership.

The film tells the story of Irina Karamanos, anthropologist and political activist, former partner of Chilean President Gabriel Boric. In 2022, at just 32 years old, Irina takes a symbolic and revolutionary step: she challenges — and ultimately abolishes — the traditional role of “First Lady”, sparking an international debate on representation, gender equality, and the renewal of democratic culture.

📅 Date: March 6, 2026 🕗 Time: 8:00 PM 📍 Venue: Cinematheque of the Republic of North Macedonia, Skopje 🎟 Free admission

The film will be screened with subtitles in English and Macedonian.
