Updated: May 28, 2024

Toronto Women Film Festival is dedicated to the promotion, discovery and screening of female talents working in film and TV from all over the globe. The seasonal and annual program of the fest brings together films of all genres directed by women from all over the world competing in various sections of the festival which includes human rights, environmental, experimental, animation and various genres from both drama and documentary.



Every season, the committee of the fest selects and promotes the best of the seasonal edition from hundreds of submissions. The annual festival runs in parallel with TIFF as a hybrid event with both live events and online screenings in September. The finalists of the year are screened in live events while all the nominees and official selections of the fest are offered digital promotion and screening through the fest. Some of the previous finalists of the festival have screened in the past years through Carlton Cinema and Innis Town Hall of the University of Toronto. It is our pleasure to announce the 20th seasonal winners of the Toronto Women Film Festival.
