For the fourth year in a row, WIF has created its #VoteForWomen film ballot recognizing the abundance of women whose work behind the camera made the film landscape of 2022 possible. Every year we see hundreds of women excelling at their roles as creative and craft leads on films big and small, and we are too often dismayed by how few of them make it into the predominant discussions of who gets celebrated with nominations and awards—which can lead to continued work and increased compensation. The WIF #VoteForWomen ballot seeks to shine a light on a broader scope of women and nonbinary film professionals, drawing attention to them as a reminder for members of awards-granting bodies, guilds, and other organizations to consider when casting their votes this season.
