I Am Tomorrow is a two day international film festival with women in cinema taking the centre stage. In the beautiful city of Brussels back in November 2023, we screened 33 incredible films made by women. We are now accepting submissions for the second edition of I Am Tomorrow International Film Festival. If you are a female director and if you have a story that needs to be told, a message that needs to be heard, or a perspective that needs to be seen? then you are invited to apply for the I Am Tomorrow Film Festival, the premier event for women in cinema. We are accepting applications from all over the world for the Narrative Feature Films, Documentaries and Short Films directed by Women. We are super excited to screen the works of female filmmakers from around the world, who dare to challenge the status quo, explore diverse perspectives, and inspire change.
This November, join us in the heart of Europe to experience the magic of creativity, unique perspectives and powerful voices at the I Am Tomorrow film festival.

We are a bunch of super passionate individuals trying to be the change that we want to see and enable more and more female filmmakers, technicians and performers in the film industry.

    This festival kicked off in 2023 with a dynamic, friendly team that has bold ambitions in terms of the impact they are aiming for. I attended the Q&A for my film at the cinema and very much enjoyed meeting the organisers as well as being introduced to other filmmakers and participants. A promising start.
