AWFF is a short film festival that aims to support, encourage and celebrate female storytellers by giving them a platform to showcase their talent both in front and behind the camera. We want to put women front and centre in an industry that has been traditionally dominated by men.
One of the most unique aspects of AWFF is that at least three key creatives of a film (e.g. Writer, Director, Producer, DOP, Animator, Composer and Editor) must identify as female. Men are not excluded from being involved in AWFF, they just need to be willing to work with women!
The film must not exceed 20 minutes and all fictional films must pass the Bechdel Test.
In order to pass the Bechdel Test a fictional film must meet the following three criteria:
(1) it has to have at least two women in it;
(2) who talk to each other;
(3) about something other than a man.
Submissions are open via www.awff.com.au until the extended deadline of 25 August 2024 and thanks to our amazing sponsors there are some awesome prizes to be won.
