Your local theatre isn’t the only place to check out
the latest movies; film festivals all over the
country showcase the newest films from the newest
filmmakers.
The Women In Film/GM Alliance goes out of our way to help. We don’t
just have a presence at the major film festivals; we
participate in regional and boutique festivals, as
well, discovering promising new filmmakers in all
genres.
Success may seem miles away, but we bring faraway dreams closer to reality. It’s
just one more way we “accelerate the creative.”
Look for the WIF/GM Alliance at the following film
festivals:
- Houston: Silver Screams Film Festival.
The WIF/GM Alliance and the Houston chapter of
Women In Film & Television welcome Halloween
with a bang, hosting community events to kick
off the first annual Silver Screams Film
Festival. A non-profit screening of classic
horror films and recent thrillers with Houston
ties precedes the Festival’s “Little Shorts of
Horror” film competition. Winner of the best
short screenplay will receive “The Debra” award,
named for the late film pioneer Debra Hill,
co-writer of the horror classic Halloween.
The Grand Prize short filmmaker will receive
“The Stevie,” named for the world’s Master of
Horror, Stephen King. To View the Silver Screams Poster,

- Kansas City: Fall Film Days.
Made possible through the support of the WIF/GM
Alliance, Kansas City’s Fall Film Days is
month-long tribute to film, including two film
festivals, exclusive screenings and the
announcement of the winner of the KCWIF TrailBlazer
Scholarship. KC Fall Film Days launches in September with the Pathway
Digital Film Festival, a new event toplining
Indie filmmakers who use the latest digital
filmmaking techniques. Film Days concludes with
October’s FilmFest Kansas City, an annual
event drawing 5,000 filmgoers and showcasing
more than 40 international, domestic, major and
independent films.
- New York: Tribeca Film Festival.
The WIF/GM Alliance offers financial and event
support to New York’s trendiest film festival,
funding a $10,000 film preservation grant to
the Tribeca Film Institute and another $10,000
film preservation grant to Women In Film’s Women’s Film
Preservation Fund, founded by the New
York chapter of Women In Film & Television
(NYWIFT). Launched in 2002 by Robert De Niro,
Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff as a response
to the attacks on the World Trade Center, the
Festival gives innovative filmmakers a platform
to reach the best possible audience for their
work.
