Festival

Last year, in 2023, we had a fun-filled week with multiple Meet-Ups, exquisite opening and closing night parties, panels, workshop, fantastic independent films, and optional VIP lounge.

Lady Filmmakers celebrates lady filmmakers, musicians, artists and the men who collaborate with them. We look forward to seeing everyone in September 2023 for the 15th Annual Lady Filmmakers Festival!

Enjoy great films carefully curated with an emphasis on great storytelling! Take in a workshop or panel and learn from an expert in their field in the “biz”. Network at one of our many parties.

A 5 star rated film festival and consistently ranked in the Top 100 on FilmFreeway. Lady Filmmakers Festival is a trend-setting and forward-thinking film festival known by veteran Hollywood insiders and rising indie filmmakers alike for screening outstanding films from around the world and having top notch speakers and networking events. Lady Filmmakers is dedicated to creating a classy, fun and fulfilling festival experience dedicated to enhancing personal, professional and creative growth while promoting women, equity and inclusion. All festival screenings and parties take place IN PERSON in the world-famous Beverly Hills, California. We screen at the beautiful and historic 400 seat Fine Arts Theater with the highest quality sound and projection.

We are a great springboard for talented seasoned and first-time directors and indie short and feature filmmakers. The festival directors are filmmakers too & understand what it's like on both sides of a festival and try to provide as many wonderful experiences and opportunities to our Official Selection Attendees and Cinephiles alike.
