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.
Founded by Bill Volland the festival was conceived by filmmakers for filmmakers, in a positive response to the inequality in the film industry. A need to hear and see the diverse stories of and about women from around the world.
The festival team is made of filmmakers, volunteers and members from "Women in Film of Arkansas"
