We are leading the charge to achieve gender equality in film, TV, and digital media—to create more opportunities for women.
All of our members have access to programs, events, and discounts that are exclusive to WIF members.
Our programs make a difference in women’s lives. The Film Finishing Fund has awarded over two million dollars in cash and in-kind services to 280 films from all over the globe. These films have gone on to achieve distribution at international festivals and win major awards, including the Oscar and Peabody.
Our distinguished programs see hundreds of women grow their careers through focused guidance in the Mentoring Program, dozens of filmmaking teams create short form content in the Production Program, producers-director duos learn from the best in the field at the Financing Intensive, and other achievements.
Our monthly Speaker and Screening Series continue to grow with panels and exclusive advance screenings featuring filmmakers and industry leaders like Olivia Wilde (Booksmart), Kasi Lemmons (Harriet), Jill Soloway (“Transparent”), and occasionally presented in partnership with organizations like Seed&Spark, Women in Animation, Film Fatales, and more.
