Women Over 50 Film Festival 2023 Online Programme - Flipbook - Page 31
A LITTLE ABOUT US
The Women Over 50 Film Festival started in 2015, when we were
called the Short Hot Flush Film Festival. Since our very first days, our
mission has been to see older women and their experiences and
stories better represented in the film industry.
Now, we9re a BIFA-Qualifying short film festival. We present short
films from international filmmakers all committed to better
representation of older women. All the films you9ll see at WOFFF are
either by or about women over 50. Throughout the year, we take
WOFFF on tour to independent cinemas with our Best of the Fest
programme.
And we work in the community with Moving Pictures, our minifestival reaching elder-care homes, community centres and charities
across the UK. Each year a new Moving Pictures pack is released,
which includes a DVD of 11 WOFFF short films and creative activity
worksheets to engage older people in spoken, written and artistic
responses to the films they watch.
Our biggest and ultimate goal is to achieve equality and parity for
older women in film. We9re delighted you9re part of the WOFFF
community.
We're proud to be a BIFA-Qualifying Festival, a Gold-rated festival on FilmFreeway
and an Age-Friendly Standards holder
