The Women’s Film Institute announces its call for film and video entries in all lengths and genres for the 7th annual San Francisco International Women’s Film Festival (SFWFF). The festival will take place April 4-10, 2011.
“We’re open to professional and amateur filmmakers of narrative, documentary, music video, animation, and experimental works,” says festival founder Scarlett Shepard. “The only constant is that submissions must be directed or co–directed by women.”
SFWFF will be accepting online entries submitted via Withoutabox. com global filmmaker community. Their internet-only submission platform uses one master entry form and is an economical, eco-friendly, and secure alternative to traditional hard-copy DVD submissions: https://www. withoutabox. com/login/4231 (https://www. withoutabox. com/login/4231)
The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2010. Any questions regarding submissions can be emailed to sfwomensfilmfestival(at)gmail(dot)com or call (415) 754-3456.
The 2010 SFWFF received more than 800 submissions from all over the world. Approximately 90 of these were screened, heralding from the documentary and fiction, shorts and feature length, animated and live action, youth productions, lesbian/gay, and experimental genres.
“The festival is a powerful and vital forum that brings the voices of women to a wider audience, as well as celebrating their achievements in the world of cinema,” notes Shepard.
Founded in 2004, the SFWFF celebrates the achievements of women working behind the camera and raises awareness about the need for more opportunities for female filmmakers: http://www. sfwff. org (http://www. sfwff. org)
