20 Years. One Movement. A World of Women’s Voices.

🏆 Recognized as one of the top women’s film festivals worldwide.
From Miami Beach to New York City — and now digitally on WIFF-TV — WIFF is more than a festival. It’s a celebration, a marketplace, and a movement that empowers women creators to rise, connect, and shine.
The Women’s International Film Festival (WIFF) is a two-time, award-winning, trailblazing, global platform that has spent two decades amplifying women’s voices in film, television and media.
For 20 years, WIFF has been a destination where filmmakers, industry leaders, and audiences connect through red-carpet premieres, thought-provoking panels, world-class parties, and unforgettable cultural experiences.
Each year, WIFF brings together filmmakers, industry professionals, and audiences from around the world.
WIFF is more than a festival — it’s an ecosystem designed to showcase, support, and elevate women storytellers year-round.
Our flagship event brings together filmmakers, executives, and audiences for 5 days of screenings, premieres, galas, and industry panels. During these amazing five days we:
♦ Host The Breaking Down Barriers Conference, one of the industry’s most dynamic platforms for conversations and networking.
♦ Create opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and global distribution.
♦ Celebrate women’s voices on the red carpet, on stage, and now on demand
WIFF champions women across every stage of their careers — from young girls learning the language of media, to first-time filmmakers premiering their work, to global icons breaking barriers in Hollywood.
Through our festivals, streaming platform, podcasts, and workshops, WIFF has become a cultural movement that amplifies women’s creativity, leadership, and influence across the globe.
🎬 Over 1,000 films showcased from more than 60 countries.
🌍 Partnerships with Paramount Studios, MTV Films, PBS, The History Channel, American Express, Bacardi, and more.
🏆 Named Best Film Festival in Miami (twice) and recognized among the Top 3 Women’s Film Festivals worldwide.
✨ A legacy of unforgettable guests, including Ruby Dee, Halle Berry, Vivica A. Fox, Adriana Barraza, Shemar Moore, and more.
WIFF is unapologetic about its mission: to create a world where women’s stories are seen, heard, and celebrated. Be part of the movement.
