In the heart of New York City, Imagine This Women's International Film Festival (ITWIFF) is more than a festival — it's a movement.

Born from a vision to give women storytellers a platform to shine, ITWIFF has grown into a vibrant global community of filmmakers, industry leaders, and film lovers. Each year, we showcase groundbreaking films, spark bold conversations, and forge connections that outlast the festival itself, all powered by the generosity of supporters like you.

Your gift doesn't just fund a festival. It fuels the next film, the next filmmaker, the next story that might never have been told. Every dollar helps amplify underrepresented voices and open doors for the next generation of women in film.

This isn't just a donation. It's an investment in a more inclusive future for cinema one where every woman's story is seen, heard, and celebrated.

Why Donate?

Your donation to ITWIFF isn't just a gift; it's a catalyst for change in an industry that has, for too long, echoed the same voices. It's an investment in a future where women and non-binary filmmakers aren't the exception, but the standard, recognized and celebrated for the full range of their talent.

Every contribution helps rewrite the narrative of cinema: fueling careers, amplifying stories that deserve a global stage, and building a film industry that's more inclusive by design, not by exception.

Join us in making a difference, one reel at a time.
