CELEBRATING WOMEN & FILM

PTFF champions women filmmakers, showcasing their work to wider audiences. Once a beloved ‘mini-festival,’ Women & Film now takes center stage in September.

Celebrate female-identified directors with us—explore the many films in this track and don’t miss Saturday’s Forum event: the Women & Film Panel.

More info below.


WOMEN & FILM PANEL

Saturday, 10:00 AM at Pope Marine Building

Program Director Christy Spencer moderates a dynamic conversation with five women-identifying filmmakers as they share the unique perspectives, challenges, and triumphs that shape their creative lives. A candid look at the evolving world of independent film, through a distinctly female lens.
