Women in Film and Television in Cyprus

EVENTS CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2018 Cannes celebrates its 71st year and Women in Film and Television International and our Chapter members from all over the world will be there.  ​ PROGRAMS ​SHORT FILM SHOWCASE WIFTI Short Film Showcase is a powerful demonstration of our members’ creativity, vision and artistry. Founded in 2004, the Short Film Showcase presents selected films from WIFTI Chapters around the world.  Some of the recent Short Film Showcase short films have been nominated for Academy Awards, received distribution deals and garnered other recognition globally.     WOMEN'S FILM PRESERVATION FUND The Women's Film Preservation Fund (WFPF) is the only program in the world dedicated to preserving the cultural legacy of women in the industry through preserving films made by women.  It was founded in 1995 by New York Women in Film and Television in conjunction with  the Museum of Modern Art.  The WFPF’s goal is to ensure that the contributions of women to film history are not forgotten. To date the WFPF has preserved a remarkable spectrum of more than one hundred American films in which women play key creative roles. These include works by early feminists, women of color, social activists and artists that represent a unique and irreplaceable part of our nation’s cultural legacy. The films already preserved range from Barbara Koppel’s Harlan County USA (1976) and Cinda Firestone’s Attica (1974) to productions by pioneering early film directors Lois Weber and Alice Guy Blaché and experimental and animated films by Maya Deren and Mary Ellen Bute.
