Films Directed By Women!
Over the course of the last eight years, we have wholeheartedly championed the screening of impressive 272 films directed by women. This laudable initiative serves as a resounding testament to our unwavering commitment to promoting inclusivity within the film industry. In a remarkable feat, we have even surpassed prominent film festivals like Toronto, Cannes, Sundance, Tribeca, & the Oscars in terms of the sheer number of films directed by women.
