The Hot Springs International Women’s Film Festival (HSWFF) is presented by the Hot Springs Arts & Film Institute. The festival celebrates women filmmakers and artists by providing a venue, educational opportunities, and networking forum in Hot Springs National Park, AR. USA. We love working with you and want to see your project and dreams become reality.
The festival was conceived by filmmakers for filmmakers, in response to the inequality in the film industry, and the need to hear and see the diverse stories of and about women from around the world. Besides making sure you have a great festival experience, our team is here to get exposure for your project and help market your film. We want you to succeed in getting your vision out to the right audience through the right distribution. We can help you steer clear of the not so "producer friendly" deals and point you in a direction that's best for you and your project. We want you to know as filmmakers ourselves we care about your project because we understand what it takes to complete a project. A feature film or a 2 min short, If you need us were here to help however we can, just ask...
