LA Femme International Film Festival October 16 -19, 2014 Beverly Hills - Extended Late Deadline August 16
LA Femme International Film Festival is a premier festival that focuses on platforming women filmmakers “by women, for everyone”. Our Festival was created in 2005, when it became apparent that there was a need to enhance women behind the camera as Directors, Producers, and Writers.
LA Femme Film Festival is more than a festival it is an emergence of artistic, professional women who can make a difference in the entertainment community by creating productions that speak to a world wide audience. We will be the only festival of its kind to not only platform existing films and artists but will also distribute and mentor such films and artists.
