Women’s Perspective

The Jacksonville Film Festival created the Women’s Perspective in 2019 as a way to showcase and support women in the film industry. Over the past years more women have directed and produced films in a men-dominated industry. The goal of the Women’s Perspective is to celebrate, encourage and support women filmmakers. The program is designed to help answer industry questions, such as how to enter the film world and how to get your name out there. Women’s Perspective is part of the program during festival dates.

In the inaugural year, the Jacksonville Film Festival invited actress Christina Wren to be the guest of the Women’s Perspective. She is known for Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Man of Steel. She offered her perspective of being a woman in the film industry, and what she has done to become successful. The Jacksonville Film Festival plans to continue to hold the Women’s Perspective for years to come.
