Further information
Fd4w founder Ruth Torjussen began teaching confidence building, women-only film directing
courses in September 2009 with the aim of contributing to the worldwide movement that will see a huge rise in the number of films being directed by women. (Currently only 6% of film directors are women. Source: BEV 2009).
Such was the success of the courses that in just a short time Filmdirecting4women has become a grassroots community of women film directors with many more courses, monthly networking/screening events, an ever-growing online members support network and now their own international festival.
The inaugural FD4WInternational Film Festival will be a creative space where women directors
will be inspired and encouraged.
