Women & Wine

An Intimate Conversation Celebrating Women in Film, Television & Entertainment

Join the Peachtree Village International Film Festival (PVIFF) for Women & Wine, an inspiring and intimate gathering created to celebrate, empower, and connect women working in film, television, and entertainment.

Taking place Saturday, November 7 at 5:00 p.m. at the Courtland Grand Hotel in Downtown Atlanta, Women & Wine brings together accomplished women from across the entertainment industry for candid conversations about career, creativity, perseverance, and navigating an ever-changing business.

This special PVIFF experience goes beyond the traditional industry panel. Over wine and conversation, our guests will share personal insights from their journeys—the successes, challenges, pivots, and lessons that helped shape their careers.

The Conversation

Women & Wine will explore some of the issues women encounter throughout their careers, including balancing professional success with personal fulfillment, navigating biases facing Black women in entertainment, sustaining a career through the industry's highs and lows, reinventing yourself, finding new opportunities, and building a career later in life.

Most importantly, this is an opportunity for women to have the kinds of honest conversations that don't always happen on traditional panels—to learn from one another, make meaningful connections, and leave encouraged to continue pursuing their goals.
