Here’s what’s on the go in Atlantic Canada:
In keeping with one of WIFT-Atlantic’s primary goals, to celebrate the work of Atlantic women in the Screen Industry, the WIFT-AT Board is happy to announce the first WIFT Wave Awards which will be handed out Sunday, March 6th at the Women Making Waves Awards Brunch.
From Jan Miller, Chair
Happy Holidays from the Board of WIFT Atlantic
Just wanted to catch everyone up on the activities of the WIFT-AT Board. It has been a very busy few months with so many Board members double and triple tasking to help this fledgling organization fly. Every Board member sits on and is actively involved in at least 1, if not 2 (or 3!) Committees to ensure that every province has a voice and is well represented.

It’s been a very exciting first few months for the Development Committee. We have great representation from all four Atlantic Provinces including Gretchen Kelbaugh (NB), Martha Cooley (NS), Louise Lalonde (PEI) and Jill Knox-Gosse (NF). We’ve hit the ground running in order to prepare for WIFT-AT’s first big weekend event: Women Making Waves.
Come Out This Weekend & Support ATLANTIC Film!
