City Of Angels Women`s Film Festival (2)

Festival start: 24 September 2021      Festival end: 26 September 2021

City of Angels Women’s Film Festival provides an arena for female filmmakers to share experiences, showcase their work and build relationships.

City of Angels Women's Film Festival is now in its second season. It was launched successfully in 2019 with the goal of empowering and connecting women and those identifying as female in the film industry and showcasing extraordinary films made by women, both in Los Angeles and globally.

COAWFF is focused on honoring films that have been either directed, produced, edited or include a cast driven by women. (For example, we will accept a film directed by a man if the film was either written or produced by a woman or includes a female driven cast or female protagonist.) The script category is open to both men and women.(Scripts written by men must feature a female protagonist.) We also welcome LGBQT themed films and scripts. We encourage student filmmakers to submit their work as well and also accept experimental films both feature and short length.
