The Reel Girls Film Festival is the first-ever all-girls international student film festival, devoted entirely to encouraging and supporting young female filmmakers. 

The Reel Girls Film Festival believes that a community devoted to young female filmmakers allows them to thrive and develop their unique voices and visions, these are the roots for establishing gender equality in the film industry.

​

There are 24 male directors

for every 1 female director (1)

​

Women are underrepresented in the film industry. Similar to findings within the STEM fields, to obtain more gender equality in film, girls need to 

​

  • ​Be exposed to female role models in the industry

  • Receive early exposure and develop a sense of "female belongingness" (2) 

​

This is exactly what The Reel Girls Film Festival does!
