Welcome to the Women’s Global Film Festival (WGFF).

To tell women’s stories is to tell the story of the world itself. By centering these voices, the WGFF expands our lens on a truly global scale, bringing the world into a more authentic and inclusive focus.

Our goal is to create a vibrant platform that showcases work by women and positions them at the center of the global film conversation.

WGFF-selected films are presented and honored at our home festival, with award-winning projects advancing into curated international festival showcases through WGFF’s global programming partnerships. This structure allows outstanding work by women to be seen across multiple international stages.
