The 14th annual Archer Film Festival will take place at the WGA Theater in Los Angeles, CA.
The Archer Film Festival is dedicated to empowering female filmmakers and amplifying the voices of those often overlooked in the industry. We aim to advance the art form by showcasing work from high school students whose perspectives are rarely seen or heard. The festival celebrates films where women are a central creative voice, whether behind the camera or in front. We encourage submissions from underrepresented voices to foster a more inclusive future in filmmaking.
"Gender equality has been slow in coming but there has definitely been progress. It is now up to women in leadership positions to bring more women along."
The Archer School for Girls presented its thirteenth annual Archer Film Festival empowering young, underrepresented voices in film. The event, held at the Writers Guild Theater, included a screening of finalist films and featured a Q&A with Emmy-nominated comedian, actress, and alum KATE BERLANT ’05 and Oscar-nominated screenwriter and alum SAMY BURCH ’05. Festival organizers received more than 300 student-produced film submissions from over 50 countries around the world.
