"We take pride in telling the stories of invisible people; invisible because they are indigenous because they belong to marginalized groups such as LGBTQ, invisible because of their disabilities, because of the stigma of incarceration, homelessness, age, or disease. We are lucky in that our hard work as volunteers is rewarded with the added bonus of learning so much from these films." Said Founding Artistic Director Nora Armani.
The Award Categories are Best Narrative Feature, Best Actor and Best Actress, Best Documentary Feature, Best Narrative Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film, Best Script, WFCC (the Women Film Critics Circle award), in addition, there will be one more Honor Award given out on closing night to be unveiled shortly.
