values, from aspiring and professional filmmakers. WOW
welcomes works from every sector of the Australian & Oceania
women filmmaking community, particularly from indigenous filmmakers
and other under represented groups.
Selection is based on artistic merit and general audience
appeal by an industry panel co-ordinated by WOW.
