The St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival is a charitable organization established in 1989 to support and promote women filmmakers through an annual film festival and various satellite events. This week-long screening series of approximately 75 works by women directors, producers and writers also features a workshop/seminar series (for filmmakers, the general public, and youth), industry forum, galas, receptions and other networking events. This dynamic event attracts thousands of film industry players and enthusiasts from around the province, Canada, and the world. With a highly dedicated volunteer board of ten directors at the helm, the Festival also employs a full-time Executive Director, as well as other part-time staff, and taps into a pool of 80 enthusiastic volunteers each year.
