About WIFTV

WIFTV (formerly Women in Film and Television Vancouver) is a member-based organization committed to creating gender equity in film and television. WIFTV incorporated in 1989 as a not-for-profit society registered in British Columbia. By addressing systemic barriers, we believe we are also working towards more inclusive, representative media. We approach our mission by: - Advocating and organizing for equity in funding, employment, and promotional opportunities for all women and gender diverse people in the film and TV industry - Providing low-barrier, accessible programming, including mentorship and educational events to increase women and gender diverse participation in screen-based media - Producing the annual Vancouver International Women in Film Festival that champions women and gender diverse creators
