City of Angels Women’s Film Festival was launched successfully in 2019 with the goal of empowering and connecting women and those identifying as female in the film industry and showcasing extraordinary films made by women, both in Los Angeles and globally.
City of Angels Women’s Film Festival is an IMDB Qualifying film festival and is focused on honouring films that have been either directed, produced, written or include a cast driven by women or a combination of those elements. The screenplay category is open to submissions from both men and women. (Scripts written by men must feature a female protagonist.) COAWFF also honours and celebrates LGBTQ-themed films and scripts. Student filmmakers are also encouraged to submit their work in competition.
