The Davis Feminist Film Festival is a 2-night grassroots festival of short films featuring local, national, and international filmmakers side by side. Mixing narrative, documentary, and experimental styles, the films highlight perspectives and issues concerning gender, race, sexuality, and social justice that are too often missing from mainstream media. The festival is a campus-community effort involving UC Davis students, faculty, and staff along with community members/organizations and downtown businesses.

Submissions for the 2010 festival will be accepted until January 11, 2010.

For more information, please check out out http://femfilmfest.ucdavis.edu

The festival is organized by the Consortium for Women and Research in collaboration with Film Studies at UC Davis.

We are currently accepting submissions for the 2010 Festival until January 11, 2010.

In order to qualify, films must fall into 2 of 4 categories listed below:

Films created with a eye for gender and/or social justice issues
Films that link local & global issues
Films created by people underrepresented in the media field (women, people of color, queer/transgendered, the disabled)
Films made by people from the Davis/Sacramento area

We judge these films by looking through a feminist lens but all of us have our own definitions of what feminism means to us. The purpose of our festival is to provide a showcase for local filmmakers to be presented alongside international filmmakers in order to highlight the connections between the local and the global for the purpose of stimulating social change. We hope that our festival is both educational and inspirational. We will invite on-campus organizations and local organizations to share information about the work that they are doing that relates to issues presented in the films. As curators/coordinators, we hope that viewers of the films will be inspired to get involved in the community.
