Festival Description:

This week-long screening series of 50-70 works by women directors, producers and writers also features a workshop/seminar series (for filmmakers, the general public and youth), industry forum, galas, receptions and other networking events. This dynamic event attracts over thousands of film industry players and enthusiasts from around the province, Canada, and the world. With a highly dedicated volunteer board of nine directors at the helm, the Festival also employs a full-time Executive Director as well as other part-time staff, and taps into a large pool of 60-70 enthusiastic volunteers each year.

The festival screens films of all lengths, topics and genre - the only stipulation is that the film must be either written, directed and/or produced by a woman.
