The Womxn’s Film & Video Network, initiated by the Winnipeg Film Group in January 2015, is dedicated to supporting the historically marginalized genders who work in film and video in Manitoba. The group is open to directors, producers, writers, crew members, and media arts administrators (etc) who are established, mid-career or emerging. We encourage those who are looking to start out in independent film and video to please join. No experience necessary! No age minimum or maximum.
We use the spelling “womxn” to be more inclusionary and intersectional. This group is specifically designed for cis or trans women, trans men, or non-binary folx living in Manitoba who currently work in film/video/media arts, or those that aspire to. The casual meet ups are FREE.
Our goal is to create a welcoming space for people who who currently work in film/video/media arts, or those that aspire to. The group is here to provide networking opportunities, enable connections, offer help, develop skills, find crew members, discuss opportunities, share info on potential jobs and to support one another.
