About #LAWomensFest

The Los Angeles Women's International Film festival (#LAWomensfest) debuted the festival scene in 2005 and was hailed as “A must attend event for all women in the entertainment industry” (Backstage. 2005). #LAWomensfest is produced by Alliance of Women Filmmakers (AWF), a non-profit dedicated to the advancement and equality of women in entertainment. The festival serves as a platform for women filmmakers worldwide to share their unique stories with diverse audiences. Covered by prominent media outlets like “The Hollywood Reporter and “The Los Angeles Times” #LAWomensfest has been helmed “the festival that fights back” (Ms. Magazine. 2019). This year marks the festival’s 18th year which will be held virtually and in-person, featuring films made by women from around the world including, Austria, Israel, Italy, India and Nigeria to name a few. Alliance of Women Filmmakers has established a worldwide network of Artists who share their same mission of creating opportunities and powerful screen images of women. Engage with the AWF community March 24 – March 27, 2022 in person or from the comfort of your home to connect with visionary filmmakers, see great films and celebrate the achievements of women storytellers from around the world.
