Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to contact you. There is an important film festival that is missing from your list, that of Women's Voices Now. Women's Voices from the Muslim World: A Short-Film Festival - www.womensvoicesnow.org
We are trying to get the gears in motion for another festival, to be announced in 2013 and to take place in 2014. I'd really like to be in touch with you about this and to learn more about your work and the possibility of you writing a piece about WVN. Please contact me at your convenience! Best, Heidi heidi@womensvoicesnow.org
Hi - we'd love to have the Women's Film Festival in Brattleboro, VT added to your list. Our 22nd annual festival is March 8 - 17, 2013. I'd love to send you the poster for it - how do I do that?
WOMEN Media Arts and Film Festival is a gender-specific initiative to invite all women filmmakers and digital media artists from around the world to showcase their works.
So glad you included La Femme Film Festival. I was a guest panelist there along with my partner, producer & comedian Brian Vermeire. Here are some clips. There was good networking and a great final event.
Wellywood Woman, A great list of current women's film festival. Thank you. Does anyone keep a list and work to archive (programs, posters, reviews, name of organizers, etc) of the HISTORY of women's film festivals?? I have urged the filmmakers of "BE NATURAL: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blache" to PLEASE interview feminist film festival programmers who have been showing her works since at least 1973, that I know of -- ie place women's film festival within the historic context to recover this hugely important woman film pioneer. Also urge you and your community to check out (& Like): www.facebook.com/SilverscreenRoadshow I am working to bring back some of the original films produced by Women Make Movies in the 1970s, many of them narratives, that haven't been seen in years. And get them, and other films on the road! -- Ariel dougherty
Hi I've only just seen this! Thank you. There is a mailing list for film festival studies generally that would know about this. Will have a look for the address and leave it here. Checking out your FB page now!
This is the group http://www.filmfestivalresearch.org/ and there is a woman there, Skadi Loist, who is very knowledgeable about women's film fests, probably you already know her?
Dear Wellywood Woman, I'm trying to get my film "The Trail", where I play the lead role to a film festival in New Zealand specifically.
Any advice on which ones would be interested? It is unique to other pioneer/western dramas as it places a young woman's story in the winter of 1848 of survival in the wilderness at the center.
Here is a link to the trailer: http://www.trailmovie.com/
It already won best film and best actress by 2 other film festivals in the US. It's such a unique story that I'm so proud of, and would love to see it screened in NZ.
Hi Jasmin. The main film festival that takes features is the NZ International Film Festival which travels around New Zealand, though there are two smaller ones, like the Maoriland Film Festival and Wairoa Festival (both for indigenous filmmaking) that also show features and Show Me Shorts for short films only. We have 4 million people here, so that's it! Maybe Australia would be better to try? Sendng you every good wish--
I am currently working on a documentary project about women in the industry and would love to connect with you through email to get your thoughts about the culture of some of these different festivals. Would it be possible to get in touch at kausar.mohd@gmail.com?
Hi Wellywood Woman! Women's Voices Now would love to update our post. Please contact Kelsey at kelsey@womensvoicesnow.org so she can send you updated information for our festival. Thank you.
I am getting in touch as I am a 3rd year Creative Events Management student from Falmouth University currently research feminist film festivals for my dissertation.
The focus of my dissertation at present is the presence of female directors at film festivals, with a more intent focus to look at why there is a lack of female directors programmed in film festivals and the experiences/barriers women have faced regarding this subject. I am looking for female filmmakers to answer one question regarding this topic, to gather narratives from the industry and collate them to create one strong account of the unheard voices.
I hope that my research could then be used to benefit both the film industry and female filmmakers to gain an insight into this current issue and help address it in the future.
