Float Like A Butterfly Interview: Carmel Winters
“I recognised there was great power in seeing a young female Irish Traveller in this light on screen. It took quite a while to get the film financed — I think because as a society we are slow to celebrate the greatness of women. But the harder it was to get made the more I knew it was needed!”

Summer Survivors Interview: Marija Kavtaradze
“I always wanted to be what I saw on screen. And I want girls and women to see as many different female portraits as possible — strong, cool, romantic, ambitious, aggressive, silly, ugly, pretty or whatever.”
-
A Woman’s Block Interview: Rebeccah Love
“A part of me feels that we are collectively experiencing a loneliness epidemic. I am curious to find out how cinema alleviates the pain of this loneliness.”
-
One True Loves Interview: Olivia Accardo
“I’m very stubborn, and any time someone has looked at something I’ve made or asked me about my work, and sort of scoffed or ignored me or made a remark like, “wow I didn’t know a woman could….” — it makes me stronger.”

Night Owl Interview: Rebekah Miskin
“Women supporting other women is vital to truly shift how women are treated and represented both on-screen and off. And one would think that in a post “me too” world, this would be obvious.”
-
Jessica Jessica Interview: Jasper Savage
“I feel so odd to have to justify the idea that women deserve to be treated equally with equal opportunity. To not have to continuously feel like you are only on this planet for the enjoyment of the straight male.”
-
Work Interview: Claire Allore
“I think when you work on any creative project, you make so many choices based on your own beliefs that what you end up making is inevitably a reflection of those beliefs. I choose what I want to make based on my beliefs, and so doing my best to be a helpful feminist drives my filmmaking almost entirely.”

Abducted in Plain Sight Interview: Skye Borgman
“I want to hear diverse voices in film and I want to be one of those diverse voices…but even more than that I want to hire women. I want to be on sets where there are a lot of women and interesting people around.”
-
A Thousand Girls Like Me Interview: Sahra Mani
“I live in a society where women do not have a basic right to get an education or a basic right to get a job or even get married by their choice. Being feminist is the only option for women who are fighting for their basic rights.”

Kayak to Klemtu Interview: Zoe Hopkins
On the surface, Kayak To Klemtu is about a young girl searching for a connection to a land she has never visited in order to protect it. When you dive deeper you see a film that centres around grief, family, ancestry and environmentalism.
