Global Voices Film Festival, presented by USNC for UN Women San Francisco, seeks to empower women by showcasing films that spotlight the unique voices, stories and experiences of women. The festival, now in its third year, supports female producers, directors and writers, who are creating some of the most insightful and groundbreaking work in cinema. This is the 2nd year we are accepting and showcasing mixed reality films.
We celebrate films that empower female producers, directors, writers and/or protagonists. We welcome all films that focus on women’s stories or experiences. We accept all domestic and international film submissions that meet the above criteria.
Global Voices Film Festival is a fundraiser sponsored by the US National Committee (USNC) for UN Women, San Francisco Bay Area Chapter. The goal of the festival is to raise money and awareness for the work of UN Women, the UN body tasked with advancing gender equality and women’s development worldwide. UN Women programs positively impact the economic, social, and political well-being of women in developing countries, while increasing awareness to women’s rights issues internationally. Strictly a 100% volunteer-staffed event, our festival will donate its net proceeds to the USNC for advocacy programs and to support the work of UN Women worldwide.
Awards & Prizes will be announced closer to the film festival.
