ANNOUNCEMENT:
THE WOMEN’S FILM FESTIVAL WILL NOW MOVE TO OCTOBER EACH YEAR TO AVOID POSSIBLE WINTER WEATHER TRAVEL ISSUES IN NASHVILLE.
The Women’s Filmmakers Festival is a celebration of all women in a directorial or producing role within the film industry. We also celebrate and recognize women writers who we could not make films without.
This is our 2nd year and we are coming back to you with an AMAZING EVENT filled with speakers, workshops, seminars, and more!. You do not have to attend the event in order to win, but it is encouraged. Those who attend will have the opportunity to be interviewed to share their journey in film and share the projects they have submitted, and those coming.
All films submitted must be directed and/or produced by women.
For screenplays, a woman must have written at least 80% of the script.
Only women may submit to this festival, UNLESS the film is a female driven story with at least 80% of the cast and crew are women.
Men may not submit for special awards in categories such as director, producer.
ALL AWARDS ARE FOR FEMALES IN THE CATEGORIES LISTED.
