About the Melbourne Women in Film Festival

The Melbourne Women in Film Festival (MWFF) is an exciting, volunteer-run festival that aims to inspire and empower established and emerging women and gender diverse screen practitioners from Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and the wider Moana region through the celebration of their work and artistry. MWFF exhibits work from collaborative teams of women and gender diverse practitioners working in all facets of screen production to help redress the gender imbalance on and behind the screen.

Since launching in 2017, MWFF has delivered eight festivals to date, engaging audiences in venues and online with dynamic and inclusive screen experiences. Our program includes feature and short screenings, panel discussions, workshops, education programs, a critics lab, and other industry events. MWFF also partners on screenings and events in line with its mission throughout the year.
