The Without Boundaries Film Festival, presented by Diversified, is more than a celebration of innovation—it’s a platform to spotlight and amplify the stories of women in tech, AV, broadcast, film and beyond. Focused on their achievements, challenges, and impact, this initiative empowers storytellers to share powerful narratives that inspire, educate, and drive change. A film festival without boundaries… without borders—streamed, shared, and celebrated online.

Submit an original video that highlights inspiring journeys, breakthroughs, and the power of representation in driving impact.

Finalists will be sponsored to attend NAB Show NY in October, where winners will be announced.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a student, or anywhere in between, this is your chance to shine and inspire others.

BREAK BOUNDARIES. DRIVE CHANGE. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.
