The Wench Film Festival (WFF) is India’s first Fantastic film festival celebrating films made by women. The aim of the festival lies in showcasing female filmmakers who not only have the ability to tell original stories, but go beyond normative roles, mediums and genres to tell good stories. This is encapsulated in their slogan “Shaping Perspectives by Shifting the Gaze.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WFF supports, encourages and celebrates women and non-binary storytellers by not only providing a platform to showcase their craft, but also through film screenings, discussions and professional development opportunities, as well as by incorporating International Women’s Month in its programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WFF aims to reclaim the word “wench,” which has a derogatory connotation, by restoring its original meaning of “a young woman.” The festival was launched<\/a> virtually in March 2021 due to COVID and showcased films across all genres directed by women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third edition of WFF<\/a> was held virtually  between 10 and 20 March 2023, and in-person between 17 and 19 March 2023 at Harkat Studios and the Veda Factory respectively in Mumbai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
