Description
At Women Over 50 Film Festival we're creating a filmmaking world where women over 50 thrive. We engage audiences, build creative communities and celebrate films with women over 50 at their heart. At WOFFF all the short films you’ll see have:
- a woman over 50 as the central character or
- a woman over 50 in the core creative team (writer, director or producer)
From over 100 international film submissions, we select the absolute best to bring you our brightest, most packed and exciting festival yet. Over two days we’ve got six amazing programmes of 44 short films, as well as a brilliant all-female panel event and a practical workshop.
Prizes include Best Animation, Best Drama, Best Documentary, Best Experimental Film & Audience Choice Award.

The Joy of Making Film – Ten Top Tips for New Filmmakers with Angie West and Jac Nunns, Looking at You Productions
The workshop is aimed at beginners of any age who are interested in film and storytelling, particularly people who think they'd like to have a go "one day" but don't know where to start.
The workshop will cover areas like recognising what you already have - be that equipment, experience, story, connections etc. and where to find what you need.
The workshop is full of practical ideas and during it you'll have the basics for your own film pinned down and know what to do next.
And by the end of it you'll be able to go home and get started on your own film.
