Pandemic-born initiative Female Film Club (Ffc) is expanding its global membership with a new campaign.
The organization will encourage media and social media users to share an insta reel with the hashtag #Ffcworldwide which explains the campaign. The aim is to reach every filmmaker in every country and give them an opportunity to get their voice heard and their story told.
The initiative has members in 19 countries, and is hoping to recruit from the 172 countries it doesn’t. From every country that is not yet represented, the Ffc will give away a free year-long membership and five free two-month memberships. Those interested need to send an email to info@femalefilmclub.com with their CV or IMDb profile, and nationality. Operating on a first-come-first-serve basis, potential members qualify if they have a short film that has done a film festival run or a feature film.
