The deadline for submissions is Friday 16th September at 5pm. There is no submission fee to enter your film, you just need to be a current WFT Ireland member.

We hope to show as many as possible, but there will not be time to screen all the films we receive, in which case we have some judging criteria which include production values, women on the crew, feminist theme/narrative, quality of vision and writing. We want to encourage filmmakers from all backgrounds and with unique voices to apply.
