Founded in 1973, Women In Film (WIF) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for and advances the careers of women, nonbinary and trans artists working in the screen industries – to achieve parity and transform culture.
WIF believes that:
• Gender parity – equal opportunity, pay and representation – is a requirement of a healthy civil society.
• Despite progress, systemic bias in the screen industries persists; it manifests in forms both conscious and unconscious.This bias is intersectional across race, ethnicity, ability, age, class, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
• Awareness of systemic imbalance is the precedent to culture change; culture change is the precedent to policy change.
GGF supports the WIF Fellowships, Writer Discipline, reimagined in honor of our 50th year in 2023, to reflect our commitment to advancing the careers of women and other underrepresented genders across all areas of the industry. This year-long program focuses on direct, long-term impact through discipline specific cohorts and mentors, skill building and networking sessions, and 1:1 career management to open doors not yet accessible.
