In order to be as responsive as possible to the needs of women screen directors, and to the screen-based media industry overall, WIDC program offerings are evolving. Our goals are to:

  • Continue to support the advancement of the 330 WIDC director alumnae across Canada
  • Further develop relationships with existing sponsors
  • Seek new relationships that will lead to more work opportunities for women screen directors
  • Inspire international co-productions by introducing international participants to the program

To accomplish these goals we have restructured and re-envisioned our successful WIDC program offerings to better help mid-career women screen directors and writer/directors to:

  • Develop their creative and leadership muscles
  • Inspire lasting business collaborations
  • Fund their projects
  • Reach more audiences
  • Tell compelling stories from their own authentic voice
