Cine Sisters SW Film Festival

Aim

We are crowdfunding to host Plymouth’s first female-focused digital film festival over a two-day period.

Who we are

Cine Sisters SW CIC is a collective of womxn working in film and living in Devon & Cornwall. We launched in Sept 2020 with our aim to develop a network that provides inspiration, supports our members to create projects on a range of platforms, and offers small funded opportunities for womxn filmmakers in our region. 

We have hosted artists talks, screenings, surgeries, workshops, networking events and even an Awards Evening for our network. Find out about our past projects here.

We are now crowdfunding to host Plymouth’s first female-focused digital film festival over a weekend in Winter 2022/Spring 2023.

What we'll do

We will highlight the innovative work of womxn working within, and pushing the boundaries of,  filmmaking  (incorporating, animation, 3D and immersive reality content) within Devon, Cornwall and the South West. 

We will programme;

• screenings
• workshops
• talks 
• and networking events 

led by female -identifying contributors as a test case for developing an annual event, which will be available to filmmakers and the general public alike.

We feel that such a festival would help to support and inspire female filmmakers in the region and contribute a unique offering in Plymouth's cultural calendar.

Where the funding will go

Our initial target of £1,000 will enable us to host a condensed one day event with a talk, workshop and short screening. Further funding will enable us to expand the festival over a weekend to support additional events and offer commissions and further paid opportunities.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our project and your support.
