The Hot Springs International Women's Film Festival is a platform created by filmmakers for filmmakers from around the world to showcase their works, providing educational opportunities, networking forums, and celebrating women filmmakers and artists. Our mission is to amplify their voices and bring to the forefront diverse stories of and about women.
Founded by Bill Volland in response to the inequality in the film industry, our festival is run by a team of filmmakers, volunteers, and members from "Women in Film of Arkansas." We accept all projects that have at least one woman holding a key production position while also welcoming projects produced and/or directed by men, as long as there is a female protagonist and/or the story is based around women.
The festival is located in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, a picturesque destination known for its natural hot springs, seven lakes, rich history, health spas, museums, and art galleries. Our festival provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase your projects, with a commitment to helping you achieve the right audience through effective distribution. We look forward to seeing your dreams and ideas come to life at our festival.
