Since our initial launch in 1996, the Women In the Director’s Chair (WIDC) program has had a presence at the BANFF Festival, and we are pleased to be back and part of the Festival’s 35th Anniversary celebrations. This year at our annual WIDC Launch Event, Creative Women Workshops Association (CWWA) is presenting our $120K Feature Film Award, rolling out our new web space, WIDC.ca that was developed with the support of NBCUniversal, and celebrating the achievements of our 180+ women director alumnae! WIDC is presented in partnership by CWWA, The Banff Centre and ACTRA, with major support from Telefilm Canada and William F White Intl.

The WIDC Launch Event takes place Monday, June 9th at 5:30 to 6:45 pm
, Rice Studio, the Banff Centre.
