WOMEN IN FILM AND MEDIA TO HOST THE INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM SHOWCASE TO
SCREEN IN TWENTY CITIES WORLDWIDE!

 

Women in Film and Media (WIFM) is proud to announce the screening of the
International Short Film Showcase Celebrating International Women's Day. For
one night only -Saturday, March 8, 2008- an exceptional compilation of nine
short films directed by some of the world's best female directors will be
presented in twenty cities across the Women In Film network of Chapters
worldwide. Together, the nine short films finalists in the Showcase have
garnered over fifty international awards.

 

On Saturday, March 8, 2008 at One Oxford Centre, Women In Film and Media
will be showcasing these films beginning with a reception at 

6:00 pm and the showcase screening at 7:00.  Raffle prizes, delicious bites
and beverages will be available.

 

In addition, WIFM will screen the Public Service Announcement they produced
for the Women and Girls Foundation.  WIFM produced the PSA for them at no
cost after a lengthy screening process.

 

WIFM is currently working on a Public Service Announcement for SIDS (Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome)  - Cribs for Kids Program.  The program provides Pack
and Play cribs for families who cannot afford to purchase one.  The Program
instructs the parents on how to safely put their baby to sleep in the crib
and encourages them to put them to sleep in a safe sleep environment.  The
PSA will shoot on March 1st and once completed, will be distributed to 155
SIDS chapters at the National Convention being held in Pittsburgh in April.

 

International Women's Day commemorates achievements, acts of courage and
determination by ordinary women. What better way for WIFT members and the
film loving public to celebrate than with a screening of the world's best
short films by and about women?" comments Paulina Abarca-Cantin, Founding
Producer of Women in Film and Television International's Short Film
Showcase.
