Southern California's most notable and longest running women's film festival was a big success! We showcased over a hundred films from around the world, offering a diverse selection of features, shorts and documentaries that competed for both Judge and Audience awards.
These independent films highlight positive messages about relevant social issues, including ethnicity, class, culture, race, disability, and gender. The Festival has also hosted an advanced screening of the feature-length new film Nina's Heavenly Delights.
Cox Communications presented this year's San Diego Women's Film Festival. Our Festival page will soon feature a full event recap with photos. See our Awards page for the winners of our Audience and Judges awards.
