WIFTSA Board 2009
| WIFTSA
welcomes women and men interested in the
professional development and empowerment of women in the film and television industry.
We are an inclusive, volunteer-driven organisation open to people of
all backgrounds, working at all levels of the industry. Our members
include the
owners of
production companies, directors, entertainment lawyers, actresses, camerawomen, make-up artists and students. |
What we do
| As an event-oriented organisation, WIFTSA achieves its aims through two main strategies - networking and skills development. Our lecture series addresses topics of interest to newcomers as well as established players in the industry and facilitates the transfer of skills. Our networking events are tailor-made to enable women to make valuable contacts and exchange ideas in a professional but friendly environment. The WIFTSA website also offers leads and resources to women looking for information on everything from where to find grants, to where to study. |
