The Womxn’s Film & Video Network, initiated by the Winnipeg Film Group in January 2015, is dedicated to supporting the women 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.
Our goal is to create a welcoming space for people who identify as women (cis or trans) or as non-binary, living in Manitoba 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. The casual meetups are FREE.

This hands on peer to peer workshop will include the fundamentals of audio which is key to making great recordings.

The event is free and open to people who identify as women (cis or trans) or as non-binary.
MEET-UPS!
Do you create film or video or want to?
Do you live in Manitoba?
Do you identify as a woman?
If you answered yes to these questions than you should definitely come out for one of the Women’s Film and Video Network meet-ups!
They are free and are a great way to meet others in the community.
Please join us for casual mix-and-mingle networking sessions. This group, designed to create and support community, is specifically for women working in film and video in Manitoba.
We meet at the Winnipeg Film Group’s Black Lodge Studio, Room 304 at 100 Arthur Street. Meet-ups are always FREE to attend and are open to newcomers.
We will mingle, introduce ourselves, and discuss upcoming projects, issues, and how to develop our skills and our network. The direction this group goes is up to you!
If you have any questions, want to volunteer or can RSVP please call Melissa at 204-295-3456 ext. 110 or email opertions@winnipegfilmgroup.com
