ABOUT

THE VOICE OF A WOMAN | FESTIVAL

THE VOICE OF A WOMAN (VOW) was first established in 2010 this year celebrating 15 Years.

For 15 years VOW has presented the works of women filmmakers, artists, musicians, writers, activists, humanitarians and thought-leaders, in New York, London and Cannes, while also using our platform to make a difference for women, girls, environmental and human rights organisations.

THE VOICE OF A WOMAN FESTIVAL – VOW | FEST established its operations in 2010 and launched its first festival event on 25^th November 2011, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women & Girls  in partnership with Amnesty International to launch its 16 Days to End Violence Campaign at the Hospital Club in Covent Garden, London.

The aim was to not only feature great works by women, but to also use our festival to galvanize support for selected women’s, children’s, and human rights charities. To date we have worked with : Amnesty International; UN Women; UNICEF; Women’s Aid; Human Rights Watch and countless others. We have created mentoring and training programs for students in schools/universities and worked internationally on a variety of projects in communities of need.

Over the years VOW has presented its festival, exhibitions and screenings in such venues as: Cannes Palais d’Festival – France; the National Portrait Gallery – London; Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) – London; Spring Studios – New York; Paley Center for Media – New York; Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) – New York; Museum of Moving Image – New York and other venues – attracting both public and industry audiences.
