The Festival encourages and promotes the films of

celebration, debate, networking and an inspiration
for new work.

filmmakers. WOW welcomes works from every sector of
the Australian & International women filmmaking
community, particularly from indigenous filmmakers
and other under represented groups.

appeal by an industry panel co-ordinated by WOW.
