St. John's International Women's Film Festival (SJIWFF) is one of the longest­-running women's film festivals, established in 1989 with a bold vision of supporting and promoting women's work in screen-based industries from around the world. A feminist not-for-profit and charitable organization, SJIWFF is a prominent voice in the movement for gender equity and plays a vital role in the Canadian film circuit. Hosting one of the province's most anticipated cultural events, SJIWFF brings artist development and creative vitality to Newfoundland and Labrador.
