Forty percent of the titles screening at this year’s Whistler Film Festival (WFF) are directed by women and nonbinary individuals. Slated to take place December 4-8 in Whistler, British Columbia, this year’s fest also includes mentorship programs for women pursuing acting, writing, directing, and producing, teaming them up with more established industry vets.
Among the titles set to screen at the fest is “The Rest of Us,” Aisling Chin-Yee’s portrait of a divorced woman who invites her late ex’s second wife and daughter to move in with her and her teen daughter. Lydia Dean Pilcher’s “Liberté: A Call to Spy,” the story of three female spies who help defeat the Nazis, will also play at WFF.
More information about the festival can be found on its website.
