WHAT IS AWFF?
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.
See last year’s AWFF:
IS MY FILM ELIGIBLE?
One of the most unique aspects of AWFF is that three of the five key creatives (e.g. Writer, Director, Producer, DOP and Editor) for every film 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 15 minutes and pass the Bechdel Test.
WHAT IS THE BECHDEL TEST?
In order to pass the Bechdel Test a 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.
