At Femmes in Film, we nurture a collaborative environment exploring the works of femme-identifying filmmakers. By doing so, we hope to inspire student filmmakers to realise their potential, whilst cherishing the works of those who have come before us.
Our podcast will host industry talks to establish a nourishing learning environment whilst preparing students for their careers in the film industry. In order to connect with other students and pave the way for your creative endeavours, we will foster an array of social events including cinema and film festival excursions.
We will also use this space as a directory to find crew and creative collaborators. The club was founded in 2020 for Swinburne student but now it is run independently and is open to all students and emerging filmmakers outside of Swinburne University.
