2021 Official Selections
30 films from 8 countries
Welcome to the Exceptional Women’s Film Festival, where we showcase inspiring stories about - or made by - empowered women. Our 2021 program features a diverse array of short films that share all aspects of the female and female-identifying life experience, celebrating a spirit of perseverance and a strength of character. We envision a future where women and girls will be equally represented in film and media, and in all walks of life – from the sciences and trades, to politics and leadership, to athletics and the arts – and we believe in the power of storytelling to uplift and inspire our audience. Learn about the hybrid structure of our 2021 festival here, and buy your tickets or virtual pass here. Thank you for joining us!
