Welcome to the 10th Edition of Imagine This Women’s International Film Festival!
New worlds. New stories. Same fearless mission.
We’re thrilled to celebrate a decade of bold storytelling, visionary creators, and transformative cinema at the 10th annual Imagine This Women’s International Film Festival (ITWIFF).
Since our first screening, ITWIFF has been dedicated to amplifying the voices of independent women, non-binary, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ filmmakers—and this milestone year is no exception.
Join us September 11–14, 2025, in the heart of New York City for a powerful celebration featuring inspiring films, dynamic panels, immersive storytelling, and meaningful connection. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a film lover, or an advocate for change in media, this is your festival.
Here’s to 10 years—and the stories still to come.

Imagine This Emerging Voices Mentorship Program
Celebrating ITWIFF and Cutter Connections’ 10th anniversaries, the Emerging Voices Mentorship Program empowers three festival winners in Best Narrative Short, Best Documentary Short, and Best Emerging Filmmaker.
Over 3–4 months, mentees receive one-on-one guidance from industry mentors, gain professional insights, expand their networks, and may even work on a Cutter Entertainment production.
Meet this year’s mentors: Rozz Therrien, Cecilia Butler, and Shannon Lorraine — helping the next generation of women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ filmmakers take bold steps in their careers.
