Details
For six years, we have been exploring stories through an intersectional lens, centering experiences of women, and our gender non-conforming, non-binary, genderqueer and transgender communities. Through the medium of film, we want to promote a world where people thrive as healthy, equal, and integrated members of all communities while fostering respect, inclusiveness, and integrity.
We run our film fest during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Every single dime from our profits go to organizations that support and advocate for those that have experienced trauma. We are honored once again to raise funds and hold the 2nd Annual Benefit for Victim Witness Services for Northern Arizona.
We screen films from seasoned filmmakers, and first time filmmakers from all around the world. Part of our mission is also to give local Arizona student and graduate filmmakers a platform to celebrate their work. Among the 20 films this year, we are excited to announce that we will be screening both the 2022 and 2023 SXSW Grand Jury Short Film prize winners, and a beautiful film based on a song that became the anthem for the 2017 Women's March.
This year we are working with an incredible student film club from Northern Arizona University, the Women & Non Binary Individuals in Film (WANBIF).
