We started as a screening series at the iconic art house theater Facets — and this year, we’re thrilled to partner with Kinowerks for a two-day festival celebrating bold, independent cinema!

The Women Make Movies Film Festival champions the bold, the visionary, and the voices of women and gender-expansive filmmakers from every corner. Our mission is to amplify stories that challenge convention, celebrate resilience, and redefine how women are seen on screen and behind the camera.

Through screenings, panels, and community engagement, we aim to create an inclusive space where artistic risk is encouraged, intersectional narratives thrive, and cinema becomes a catalyst for equity and cultural change. We believe that when women make movies, they don’t just tell stories—they transform the world. Sponsored by Pixquid, an online streaming platform and supported by Mezcla Film Collective.

We showcases and supports bold, women-led storytelling while creating space for filmmakers to connect, be seen, and grow.

Saturday May 2 at Kinowerks in partnership with Pixquid: an online distribution platform for short and feature films.
