Congratulations to the 5th Annual
Female Filmmakers Fuse Film Festival
Official Selection!
Our Annual Film Festival has taken the COVID19 Pandemic very seriously, for this reason both the 4th and 5th Annual Film Festival was delayed. We DID NOT want to host an online festival. We wanted to remain true to our style and honor our selected filmmakers by giving them the festival and praise they deserve. FOR THIS reason, we will combine both festivals this year in NOVEMBER but the competition and awards will remain separate. The awards ceremony will be held on the same day, with both separate receiving their awards. The only combination will be in the hosting and screening.
We are excited to be back and will make it worth the wait. We thank you all for your understanding and hope to see you there!
We will be transparent as always.
