Newfoundland filmmaker Tamara Segura's National Film Board of Canada (NFB) feature documentary Seguridad headlines an impressive selection of women's cinema from the NFB at the 2024 St. John's International Women's Film Festival (SJIWFF), taking place October 22-26.
Seguridad was just named Best Atlantic Documentary at the Atlantic International Film Festival in Halifax.
From elsewhere in Atlantic Canada, Halifax filmmaker Andrea Dorfman's new animated short Hairy Legs will screen at the festival.
SJIWFF will also be presenting the Atlantic premieres of two feature docs from Toronto directors: Laurie Townshend's A Mother Apart (Oya Media Group/NFB) and Anishinaabe filmmaker Lisa Jackson's Wilfred Buck (Door Number 3 Productions/NFB).
