“The 20%: Women Filmmakers Festival and Showcase” is an event designed to celebrate women filmmakers from all over the world. Each year, Loyola University New Orleans’s Women’s Resource Center hosts a Feminist Festival in the last weeks of April, and the film festival is included in the annual festivities. Students from Loyola and Tulane participated as jurors to review the films to decide the winners of the Jury Prize and Best Student Film award, and to create a final program.

In this festival, you will see a variety of films made by women in any position in the filmmaking crew, such as the director, writer, cinematographer, etc. You can see the list of films feature below with their loglines and directors.

The audience will have a chance to vote on their favorite film after they have watched all of the films, and the winner of the audience prize will be announced to everyone who attended the event.
