An online film festival showcasing the short film works directed by women - now in its 8th year!
A celebration of women and the stories they tell. Promoting and encouraging live viewings, with details of where to stream / watch. This includes a curated selection of feature films and submissions of short films. Special focus on certain directors, podcasts, reviews, featured articles from passionate writers, interviews with filmmakers, as well as extensive coverage across social media to spread the word.
Runs for 10 days, with daily updates and coverage of the event at www.femmefilmfest.org and www.filmotomy.com.
The event is in no way aimed to discriminate against male filmmakers.
From an official selection of short films there is a roll of honour at the close of the festival. A small jury is assembled, who watch all selected films and converse to honor the short films in various categories.

The Gold Sovereign (Grand Prize)
