About the festival

The Wilmington Female Filmmakers Collective is holding its sixth annual Cinema Sisters International Film Festival! We continue with our tradition of showcasing the works of female filmmakers all over the world in an effort to encourage and support our sister filmmakers. We encourage filmmakers who identify as a woman and gender fluid/non-binary folks who identify with womanhood to submit their films! ***The 2021 festival will likely be an outdoor "walk-in" festival to maintain social distancing requirements, but have a virtual component as well***

We are asking our sister filmmakers to share their short films – narratives, docs, experimental, animation, any genre – we want to see it all! Join us as we celebrate the power of female filmmakers!! This two-day, laid-back festival is all about films made by women (including persons identifying as women).

Films must be complete, no longer than thirty minutes and **must be directed by women.**

ABOUT WILMFFILM
Wilmington Female Filmmakers Collective is dedicated to cultivating a diverse environment where women can realize their artistic cinematic visions. While less than 10% of all films are made by women, by empowering each other through educational opportunities, mentoring, and a supportive creative community, WilmFFilm aims to galvanize and expand women's contribution to filmmaking.
