They are looking for documentaries, features, and shorts that:
Reveal the diverse narratives of women leaders from all walks of life-narratives of ambition, courage, strength and resilience.
Showcase women leaders who help us interpret the reality of the modern world-captivating stories of truth, determination, innovation and vision.
Highlight the talents of emerging artists - capturing a new generation's take on what truly makes exemplary women leaders.
Important Information To Keep in Mind:
All films must feature a female in a leadership position at the centre of the story.
Films may be directed by a person or people of any gender.
Films that are directed by women, but do not focus on female leadership, will not be considered.
