Toronto International Women Film Festival

Toronto Women Film Festival celebrates and recognizes films made by talented female filmmakers from all over the world. The festival is an IMDb qualifying festival in partnership with Toronto Film Channel and sponsored by Toronto Film Magazine.

Every edition, the Festival focuses on female driven stories, independent female directors, producers, writers, actresses, cinematographers, editors, and all female artists contributing to the language of cinema as women in film.

The festival also selects films created by all genders from all over the world from various backgrounds, cultures and traditions dealing with women in society. Films created by male directors about female characters are qualified to submit to the festival as well.

The virtual online competition aims to discover, promote, screen and award female filmmakers and stories dealing with women in societies around the world. The award winners of each edition can also request for promotion and online screening.

The members of our jury are award winning artists from Canada, United States, Austria, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom and all over the world. Award winning artists of each edition can also apply to become a member of the jury for a new edition of the festival in order to vote for one of the assigned categories under the supervision of the artistic director and the festival management team.

The festival seeks Canadian and international productions of all genres. It is important to recognize talented female voices and female artists from all over the world.
