Just want to take time to acknowledge the great work of both these organizations in nurturing the work of women in our industry:
The partnership of Women in Film and Television Atlantic and
the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival, based on this year’s weeklong
celebrations, is healthy and happy.
The Festival generously provided passes for four of our board members to
attend as many events as possible during the week. So they did, and they were joined by a large number of
WIFT-AT members here. On Wednesday
evening, Crystal Parsons, Shara King and Dominique Gussett hosted the first
screening of evening shorts. The
ladies welcomed audience members in the lobby, displayed info on membership,
and spoke before the screening.

On Saturday, we worked with SJIWFF to host a coffee break
from 11am to 12 noon at the LSPU Hall.
Members mingled and chatted, enjoying the great selection of baked goods
(and much needed chocolate-covered coffee beans!) and talking up the films,
forums and plethora of parties that went on, all day, all night at this great
event celebrating women filmmakers in all their diverse forms!
