The 7th Annual New York Women in Film and Television Online Shorts Festival Presented by iWomanTV is on its way! For the month of August, watch films, shorts, webisodes, and more created by many talented female writers, actors, directors, and producers.
The film and television industry is still a heavily male-dominated field. This is clear particularly in leadership roles like producer and director. Only three women, Kathryn Bigelow, Chloe Zhao, and Jane Campion have won an Oscar for Best Director throughout the Academy Awards 96-year history. A woman has never won for Best Cinematography, and the first woman was only nominated in 2017.
Women in film and television are powerful creatives and deserve to have their stories told from their own point of view, so let’s show some love for the members of NYWIFT and all their hard work!
The type of content included in this festival ranges from drama to comedy, long to short, animated to live action; there is something for everyone! Audience viewership is extra important for this festival because the filmmaker with the most views will get to take home a $1,000 cash prize as part of the Audience Choice Award! Second and third place will be awarded $500 and $250, respectively.
The films will be available to view for the month of August on iWoman.TV and the Audience Choice winners will be announced September 20th, 2024. There will also be a number of category winners, which will be announced on August 16th.Â
