Phoenix Interview: Camilla Strøm Henriksen
“It’s very important to have somebody who believes in you or who sees you, like in the film, they don’t really have the parents but they have each other if you have one person that can help a lot.”
-
Blind Spot Interview: Tuva Novotny
“Now, more than ever, it is extremely important to use this momentum and use it well, to lay a foundation for a future where stories are told by and for all genders, ethnicities, nationalities.”
-
Kingsway Interview: Gabrielle Rose and Camille Sullivan
“Also telling our stories is really important for young people in Canada. All of the diversity, all of the multiculturalism, all those stories need to be told so that we have, we feel our identity. We feel really proud of our identity, so let’s have it reflected in our art.”

Fauve Interview: Maria Gracia Turgeon
“For years, the brilliance of female filmmakers has been overlooked or stifled. Let us give women from the past and now their due so that young filmmakers can easily name five female filmmakers when asked which filmmaker they admire.”
-
7A Interview: Kayla Lorette
“In my work, I want to create space for myself and other women to feel they can explore complicated emotions and play nuanced and strange characters. I never want to feel restricted in my impulses. I never want to shy away from the darker parts of my mind. Perhaps that’s an obvious thing to say, but being a woman makes that feel political.”

Float Like A Butterfly Interview: Carmel Winters
“I recognised there was great power in seeing a young female Irish Traveller in this light on screen. It took quite a while to get the film financed — I think because as a society we are slow to celebrate the greatness of women. But the harder it was to get made the more I knew it was needed!”
-
Summer Survivors Interview: Marija Kavtaradze
“I always wanted to be what I saw on screen. And I want girls and women to see as many different female portraits as possible — strong, cool, romantic, ambitious, aggressive, silly, ugly, pretty or whatever.”
-
A Woman’s Block Interview: Rebeccah Love
“A part of me feels that we are collectively experiencing a loneliness epidemic. I am curious to find out how cinema alleviates the pain of this loneliness.”
-
One True Loves Interview: Olivia Accardo
“I’m very stubborn, and any time someone has looked at something I’ve made or asked me about my work, and sort of scoffed or ignored me or made a remark like, “wow I didn’t know a woman could….” — it makes me stronger.”
-
Night Owl Interview: Rebekah Miskin
“Women supporting other women is vital to truly shift how women are treated and represented both on-screen and off. And one would think that in a post “me too” world, this would be obvious.”
