BAWIFM - Women in Film & Media
Celebrating Five Years in the Bay Area!
BAWIFM has three core values -
· Furthering women's creative achievement
in film, video and related media arts.
· Maintaining a supportive and collaborative community
of women in the Bay Area.
· A continuing dedication to the highest standards
of professionalism and integrity.
BAWIFM began as Cinema Chicks in February 2001 and is now a community of over 950 women mediamakers from all over Northern California. In May 2003 we became Bay Area Women in Film and Television (BAWIFT), a chapter of the Women in Film and Television International network. In early 2009 we become Bay Area Women in Film and Media to better reflect our multimedia community- Welcome to BAWIFM!
