Women Make Waves Film Festival aims to celebrate the achievements of
outstanding female talents, to explore different aspects of women´s lives
as well as to promote equality and rights of all genders. By covering a
wide range of genres, issues, and representations of women, the Festival
seeks to present and honor women’s survival wisdom and power as they are
turned into films and gain mainstream recognition.

Time & Place

The 19th Women Make Waves Film Festival, organized by the non-profit
Taiwan Women’s Film Association, will be held in Taipei in October, 2012.
A portion of the selected films will be invited on a nationwide tour
shortly after the screenings in Taipei city.

Entry qualification

Submission to the festival is open to feature films, short films,
documentaries, animation, experimental films and innovative visual
productions for digital media. There is no entry fee to submit films to
Women Make Wave Film Festival. We welcome any recent works (produced up to
2 years before the Festival) by a female director that has not been shown
in other festivals in Taiwan. Films that address women-related issues
and/or have innovative visual style are preferable.

We have four main subjects in 2012 WMWFF:

1. Queer Flame: LGBT, FTM, MTF, Questioning, Fluxion and Intersex films
are all welcome.  We are looking for films that portray the daily lives
and struggles of the modern queer culture, unique individuals in the
communities, and stories that need to be shared with the world.

2. Women in the Workforce:  As women´s rights movement has spread around
the world, more women are finding themselves in the working world that was
once dominated by men. What is the state of women in the workplace?  How
are they juggling between the roles of working females, mothers, and
wives? What kind of unusual jobs are they working at?  Stories from all
social classes are welcomed.

3. Women and Desire: Women have been conditioned to accept images and to
define themselves through reflections from others. But what do women
really want?  What kind of discriminations and dangers do they face? In
this section, we are looking for films that discuss the complex world of
sexual, relational, material and spiritual desire.

4. New Currents: We are looking for cutting-edge, daring films by new and
upcoming female directors that are innovative in cinematic styles and
forms.  These films need to explore the aesthetic possibilities of the
cinematic medium, and can draw on influences from all types of art forms
and cultures.

*We particularly welcome films made by female directors of Chinese decent.
