Highlighting the work of women and women’s achievements in all incarnations of cinema. Inspired by events showcasing films made by women (such as Scotland’s Femspectives), we want to recentre the focus of film history and the future of the industry on projects creatively led by women. Sheffield has a rich cultural history and we hope to further develop the city's reputation as a hub for excellence supporting diversity in film in the North of England.

The aim of FFStival is to provide an intersectional platform highlighting the work of women’s (including female and non-binary people of all gender presentations and alignments) achievements in all incarnations of cinema.

​

Aims:

In line with other similarly inclusive events, we aim to:

• Provide a platform for films made by female-identifying and non-binary people, accessible to everyone. 

• Provide a safe space for discussion that recognizes differences in experience, outlooks, privilege and barriers. 

• Create a place for honest and open discussion, learning and debate while acknowledging similarities and the need for solidarity.

• Highlight marginalized and underprivileged voices.
