Well, this notice isn't just for super-8 female filmmakers but this topic probably still fits anyways, it's from "withoutabox".

------------------------------------------------------

In the Spotlight this weekend is the LA FEMME FILM FESTIVAL in Los Angeles, CA, championing the work and talent of women filmmakers, writers, and producers from all corners of the world. The festival does not limit men's involvement, but seeks to highlight those films with a woman in one or more of the key positions of Producer, Writer, and Director.

LA Femme is about support. The main objectives of this festival are to 1) Platform emerging talent and support established women in cross-over roles, 2) Distribute the features showcased in the festival with domestic theatrical releases and home video distribution, and 3) Create funds for finishing features and supporting feature film production for women.

For selected features and documentaries, LA Femme will assist the filmmakers in finding distribution outlets, and selected shorts will be offered automatic distribution on a national broadband network. LA Femme maintains various distribution alliances, and plans are in the works for a cable partnership to air selected festival entries.
