Phoenix Interview: Camilla Strøm Henriksen
“It’s very important to have somebody who believes in you or who sees you, like in the film, they don’t really have the parents but they have each other if you have one person that can help a lot.”
-
Blind Spot Interview: Tuva Novotny
“Now, more than ever, it is extremely important to use this momentum and use it well, to lay a foundation for a future where stories are told by and for all genders, ethnicities, nationalities.”

Kingsway Interview: Gabrielle Rose and Camille Sullivan
“Also telling our stories is really important for young people in Canada. All of the diversity, all of the multiculturalism, all those stories need to be told so that we have, we feel our identity. We feel really proud of our identity, so let’s have it reflected in our art.”

Fauve Interview: Maria Gracia Turgeon
“For years, the brilliance of female filmmakers has been overlooked or stifled. Let us give women from the past and now their due so that young filmmakers can easily name five female filmmakers when asked which filmmaker they admire.”

7A Interview: Kayla Lorette
“In my work, I want to create space for myself and other women to feel they can explore complicated emotions and play nuanced and strange characters. I never want to feel restricted in my impulses. I never want to shy away from the darker parts of my mind. Perhaps that’s an obvious thing to say, but being a woman makes that feel political.”

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.”
-
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.”
