GIFF Thematic Virtual Program Empowered WOMXN 2024

Celebrating the unique vision of female filmmakers and their lived experiences.

After 2 successful screenings to commemorate International Women’s Day 2022 and 2023, GIFF is back with EMPOWERING WOMXN 2024. This is GIFF’s endeavour to celebrate the lives, experience, courage, and triumphs of women on International Women’s Day.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Gandhara Independent Film Festival Empowered WOMXN 2024 will curate and exhibit films made by female filmmakers in the capacity of writer and/or director. The films will focus on the female gaze and how it adds to our communal perspective.

In addition to film screenings GIFF will also host panel discussions with female filmmakers to highlight their contributions to the art and craft of storytelling and filmmaking. These discussions are designed to provide insight on the filmmaker's vision and shine a spotlight on the joy and trials that go into the process of making a film from a female lens. Films made by all-female ATL crews are especially encouraged to submit.
