LA Femme International Film Festival is an annual film festival. It focuses on platforming women filmmakers, "by women, for everyone". The festival was launched in 2005, with the objective of enhancing female directors, producers, and writers. It was the first women-focused festival in Los Angeles. To meet the festival objectives of showcasing and promoting commercially viable films by women filmmakers, the organization offers mentorships, creates dialogues among creators, holds panels, and assists with finding distribution opportunities.

History

The film was founded by Leslie LaPage, after attending Sundance Festival 2005, and remarking on the fact that there were very few films by women.[1] LaPage found it difficult to find sponsors, because, in her words, "almost no one in Los Angeles seemed to believed that women could direct anything other than a romantic comedy."[1] But the event was mounted, and 25 films were screened in the 2-day festival. Since then, the festival has grown to include over 100 films screened over four days, in two theaters, and it includes seminars, panels, networking mixers, and gala events.[2][3]
