Established in early 2017, the Melbourne Women in Film Festival is a not-for-profit festival aimed at celebrating and supporting the work of women filmmakers and creatives – from directors, writers and producers to cinematographers, sound designers and editors. Our annual festival promotes the many talented Australian, Aotearoa NZ and Pasifika women who work within all areas of screen production, exhibiting works of all styles and genres by women filmmakers and showcasing the diversity of women’s perspectives through storytelling and conversation. We look forward to seeing you at the festival! Our mission is: To deliver an engaging and accessible annual film festival in Melbourne that showcases and promotes the diverse works of Australian women screen creatives and technicians. To advocate for gender equality and diversity in the Australian screen industries by facilitating conversation between a community of practitioners, audiences and industry.
