Our Mission
A place where female filmmakers are celebrated and supported.
The Sydney Women's International Film Festival is a new film festival designed to support and promote the work of women (self-identified) filmmakers.
Our festival offers award competitions across a range of categories - all with a focus on showcasing the work of local and international female filmmakers.
​
The Volunteers
The Sydney Women's International Film Festival (SWIFF) is the passion project of a Sydney-based volunteer team of women, all committed to promoting women's roles and greater gender parity in the film-making industry.
The ongoing lack of gender diversity in the film industry means we aren't seeing enough stories about women, told through the eyes of women.
SWIFF is our contribution to improving access for audiences to these stories - and to promote the creativity of female filmmakers.​
