FAQ:

Q: How can I access the event?

A: Information on how to access the event will be provided within 24 hours of the event via email. If you do not receive the information within 2 hours of the event, please reach out to ariane@womensvoicesnow.org.

-

Q: What is the structure & screening schedule of your festival?

A: Our festival isn't quite like other film festivals. Rather than hosting live screenings over a several day period, our festival begins with a kick-off event, and provides all ticket-holders with on-demand access to our selected films (for a limited time). This ensures that everyone can watch the films on their own schedule!

-

Q: I can't afford to pay for the ticket, but would really like to attend. Do you provide fee waivers?

A: Absolutely! We acknowledge that limited financial resources can be a significant barrier in accessing opportunities, and want to ensure that anyone who is interested is able to attend our events. If you are unable to cover the cost of this event, please reach out to us at Ariane@womensvoicesnow.org for a waiver code.
