The Association's signature project is the International Women's Film Festival in Rehovot whose mission is first and foremost, to allow women to desire, to create, and to reveal their work.
Each year the festival screens approximately 70 films directed by women from Israel, Europe, USA and other locations. The Festival grants the extraordinary opportunity of direct encounters with filmmakers, the opportunity for female debate on selected social and humanistic fields, and of course, the viewing of a variety of films.
In addition to promoting and advancing women film makers, the Association is dedicated to promoting equality and women's rights, especially in peripheral locations where traditional roles are still common and women have fewer opportunities to advance and express themselves. This project aims to raise awareness to the status and advancement of women in the periphery through the screening of films created by women which feature women and their worlds.
In 2008, the association also started to award Israeli filmmakers with grants to allow them to continue their work in the film industry. In order to increase the representation of women in the film and television industries as well as to change the sad statistics of 5% representation of women out of all filmmakers.
