Festival Description:

At Women Over 50 Film Festival we showcase the work of older women on both sides of the camera. We look to them to drive our stories – as filmmakers and performers. Each film we screen at WOFFF has to follow this one simple rule – it must have a woman over 50 at its centre or a woman over 50 in the core creative team (writer, producer or director).
