Vancouver, BC - Women In Film & Television Vancouver (WIFTV) is pleased to announce that the 5th Annual Women In Film Festival (WIFF) will be presented April 17 & 18th, 2010 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

"Our 2009 festival was a huge success and a huge undertaking. We had great films, great parties, movie stars and plenty of inspirational moments from our multi-talented WIFTV members and the film community.

"Our 2010 film festival will continue to inspire and celebrate the contributions of our members and non-members alike. It will be a more compact version of our festival, as we are also presenting the Women In View Symposium in October 2010," says WIFTV Film Festival Chair, Roslyn Muir.

Highlights of the spring festival include a feature film presentation that will be followed with a panel discussion with the female director, presented by The Creative Women Workshops Association CTV/CAM program. In addition, there will be short film programs, an opening reception as well as networking and pitching opportunities. The festival is produced by WIFTV, an internationally affiliated non-profit society committed to advancing and celebrating women in screen based media.

This year, the Women In Film Festival will accept Canadian and international SHORT FILM submissions (20 minutes maximum) in the following categories: narrative, documentary, new media, music videos, video poems, or experimental shorts.

Submissions featuring strong female characters and stories are encouraged. Eligible films must have THREE of the following (one woman may serve more than one role): a woman as Writer, a woman as Producer, a woman as Director, a woman as D.O.P., a woman as lead Actor, a woman as lead Animator / Editor.

In addition, the Legacy Awards will be presented by festival sponsor, Producer Deboragh Gabler of Legacy Filmworks, to three B.C. filmmaking teams for outstanding achievement in film.

CTV WIDC Career Advancement Module (CAM) ~ Creative Women Workshops Association (producer of the annual Women In the Director's Chair Workshop) will present an intensive career advancement program for four (4) mid-career Canadian women directors.
