THE FUTURE IS FEMALE *
FILM SERIES
It is the duty of good film programmers to consider what films reflect our current zeitgeist , what films make bold new innovations in the art of cinema , and what films help us envision a better and more equitable future for all of humankind . In 2018 our programming committee accepted the challenge of ensuring 40-60 % of all films programmed at GFF would be written or directed by women . And we are proud to announce that 46 % of all films screened at GFF 2018 are made by women , including 40 % of all feature films .
As GFF takes strides towards gender parity at our Festival , we are proud to present this bold series of feature films directed by some of the best up-and-coming female filmmakers working today ! We are even more proud to have funded this series through a collaborative co-sponsorship by Winnipeg ’ s most successful production companies : Original Pictures , Inferno Pictures , Black Watch Entertainment , Buffalo Gal Pictures , Farpoint Films , Frantic Films , Media RendezVous , Rebecca Gibson and the Canadian Media Producers Association .
