For this 10th anniversary of Mill Valley Film Festival’s gender equity initiative, we celebrate the bold work of female and nonbinary filmmakers. Despite the current political headwinds, their work exemplifies how our resolve for equity and human rights cannot be dampened. The audacious and compelling films in this year’s festival empower us to expand the frame of inclusion as we fight our way forward. 
This year, our program highlights exceptional established artists and a wave of emerging talent whose work promises to shape the future of film and our collective imagination. We hope our screenings and conversations inspire you, and we look forward to seeing you at the festival.
