FFStival: Females | Films | Screens 2024

Welcome to FFStival! Our aim, in creating this international annual film festival, is to highlight the work of women and women’s achievements in all incarnations of cinema. Inspired by events showcasing films made by women (such as Scotland’s Femspectives), we want to recentre the focus of film history and the future of the industry on projects creatively led by women. Sheffield has a rich cultural history and we hope to further develop the city's reputation as a hub for excellence supporting diversity in film in the North of England.
Working in partnership with the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield, the festival directors have track records in film studies, filmmaking and higher education and felt that the time is ripe for championing awareness of films women are producing, not only providing a platform for newer, younger filmmakers but also highlighting work by more established women in the field. We hope this will inspire women filmmakers, extending production, scholarship and discourse across a variety of fields.
Taking cues from the excellent international work of Sheffield DocFest, Sensoria Festival and Showroom Cinema in promoting diversity and the work of women creatives, we identified the need for a festival to champion the work of female-presenting filmmakers exclusively. In the present day there still seems to be space and a desire for events such as this, not simply examining how cinema relates to intersectional feminisms, but also how women’s voices can be and are expressed across all types of cinematic genres. We want to move beyond simply showing that women can make films - this should already be a given - we want to shift the conversation to break preconceptions of the types of films women are making, the issues films by women address and the unique challenges faced by female filmmakers.
