We are glad to inform you that the 8th Women's Film Festival in Seoul (WFFIS) will be held from 6th to 14th April in 2006. Since it's inception in 1997, WFFIS has contributed to building a network in Asian film industry and now it has become one of major international women's film festivals. Also WFFIS has contributed to Filmmaking in Asia by introducing films made about and by women with female points of view. WFFIS has received a lot of media attention as the bustling crowds of deeply supportive audience members. As well as introducing films, it has tried to discover and support talented women filmmakers through its competition section, the "Asian Short Film & Video Competition."
