2015 WIFTA Film Series
Now accepting short films and documentary features!
Each year Women In Film & Television Atlanta (WIFTA), often in conjunction with Women In Film & Television International (WIFTI), hosts a short film showcase that highlights the work of talented filmmakers throughout the Southeast and beyond. We accept entries from independent filmmakers from all genres – drama, comedy, action, sci-fi animation, spiritual / gospel, documentary and experimental.
This year, for the first time, WIFTA will be accepting both short films and documentary features for the WIFTA Films Series in September 2015 at the General Assembly in Atlanta. Monetary prizes for $500 will be awarded in the Best Short Film and Best Documentary Feature categories. Best Actor, Best Director and Best Female Representation awards will also be selected. A short film in each category (Drama, Comedy, Documentary, Action, Sci-Fi, Animation, Spiritual/Gospel and Experimental) will be included in the screenings in September.
Screenings of winning films will take place in September 2015 at General Assembly at the new Ponce City Market in Atlanta, GA.
