In partnership with Filmotomy, the Femme Filmmakers Festival announces its 11th year. The festival, as usual, will be entirely virtual. It will be a curation of 114 short films screenings, showing 38 of this year’s official short films three times each across the 10 days of the festival.
The Femme Filmmakers Festival is a great way to support women-led films and indie filmmakers. There is no fee to sign up to watch any of the festival’s 38 films. However, Robin Write of Filmotomy announced he wanted to draw attention to the festival’s charity partner, Medical Aid For Palestinians, which the festival is fundraising for through the 10-day event.
