WOMEN FILM DIRECTORS ARE DEMANDING CHANGE

Within the industry and within ourselves. If things continue as they are with women only succeeding in isolated cases, the film industry will continue to be unsure ground for all of us. Therefore at fd4w the success and opportunities we want for ourselves we also want for you. We want to help you build your confidence, learn in a non-intimidating environment and take your ideas and stories seriously in order that you can experience the joy of DIRECTING YOUR FILMS!

• a variety of women-only film training courses around the UK,
• ongoing opportunities for the work of female directors to be seen including the annual FD4W International Film Festival,
• and the  winter’s monthly networking event The Female Lens,
