It was 100 years ago when the United Nations put forth a day to celebrate the economic, political, and social achievements of Women past, present, and future. In places such as China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women’s Day is a National Holiday. This marks the 6th year WIFTI joins in that celebration with our Short Film Showcase. These films have first been selected by the participating WIFTI Chapters from submissions created by their members. Each Chapter's selections were sent to the WIFTI screening committee to compile this 2011 Showcase Program. The films were all truly wonderful and WIFTI congratulates all the filmmakers on their efforts. We hope this inspires you to make your own film for next year’s celebration

Black Field!

So, I know your thinking, 'Hey, Vancouver Women in Film Festival 2011, I already know you are the awesomesauce which I can drizzle over my popcorn while watching all of the incredible films from March 4-6th at the Vancity Theatres, but if I needed that extra kick, where exactly could I be linked to on the internet to add that extra pizzazz?!' (you were thinking that, right...?)

Lucky for you we have been mentioned by National Screen Institute, On Screen Manitoba, and Northern Stars for our opening film Black Field. 

Black Field will screen at Vancouver Women in Film Festival Friday March 4th at 7PM.

Read the quick synopsis, take a browse at these amazing stills of the film, and go to the website for more information:

Black Field

A Film by Danishka Esterhazy

A dark historical drama set in 19th century rural Canada, Black Field is a gothic tale about two sisters, the man that comes between them, and the tragedy that results.

We can't wait to screen this film!
