Testimonials

"The festival was fun and upbeat and really gave us a chance to show off our city to some new people. There was a great sense of spirit and teamwork among the volunteers. The range of films that we got to see were a remarkable representation of what is being made in our province and country. It is so nice to have a forum in which to view these wonderful films!"

- Marlene Bayers, Volunteer

"Hats off to the filmmakers of the 16th Annual St. John's International Women's Film Festival!  Their films were powerful, captivating, energizing, and inspiring.  Their work made us laugh, made us cry, but, best of all, gave us hope that through this marvelous medium, women can make a political statement that can echo around the world."
