We are grateful for the Covid-19 vaccine and delighted to have in-person social distanced events to share in the collective joy of cinema," said festival founders Patricia DiSalvo Viayra and Mike Viayra. "We are excited to help spotlight the talented women filmmakers who are creating dynamic content for film lovers everywhere to enjoy."

Now in its 13th year, the well-respected film festival has always led the way in celebrating and honoring women filmmakers and the men who collaborate with them. Focusing on films with women in key roles such as Writer, Director, Producer, Cinematographer, Production Designer, and Editor, the festival has selected over 120 films as part of this year's competition.

Earlier this year, Lady Filmmakers introduced a new subscription based streaming service on Film Festival Flix featuring full-length and short, live action, documentary and animated films with talent such as Glenn Close, Angela Sarafyan, Irma P Hall, Kyra Zagorsky, Julie Cobb, Joanna Cassidy, Larry Miller, Ray Abruzzo, Ricardo Chavira, Darby Stanchfield, Molly C Quinn, Mindy Sterling, Concetta Tomei, and James Cromwell. The site continuously adds new content as well as monthly moderated panels, workshops and events with filmmakers and industry professionals as well as opportunities for up-and-coming filmmakers.

Fox, Neema Barnette, Vicky Jenson, Joyce Cox, Risa Bramon Garcia, Pam Dixon, Lati Grobman, and Christa Campbell.

Celebrating women filmmakers and the men who collaborate with them, the festival showcases films from new filmmakers to seasoned professionals branching out into a new area of filmmaking. They have screened projects from Academy® Award winning actors and filmmakers to short films from elementary school student filmmakers and everything in between! A 5-star rated film festival and Top 20 best reviewed on Film Freeway, Lady Filmmakers is planning to hold their festival both in-person and virtually, this September. The competitive and fun-filled 5-day festival will take place in the heart of the film business, Beverly Hills, California (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and New York City dates soon). In addition, the festival has created a new category for films/music/art/scripts made in Isolation during the pandemic!

Lady Filmmakers Festival accepts features and shorts of all genres and lengths, including narratives, animation, documentaries, dance, experimental, LGBTQ+, webisodes, international, commercials and more. The festival's screenwriting contest has been picking up steam too for short and feature film scripts.
