Welcome to Women in Film and Television – Atlantic, Femmes du cinéma et de la télévision (FCT) – Atlantique (WIFT-AT / FCT-AT)! Founders of the WIFT – Atlantic Chapter have worked steadily since August 2008 to open an Atlantic Canadian chapter of the international group, Women in Film and Television. Film Nova Scotia came on board to sponsor our first official event on March 9th, which introduced the Atlantic Canadian film and television community to our founding board members and raised awareness of the new organization. Check out the about us section here or contact us for more info, including membership. And please stay tuned right here as we update you on our online and on-the-ground progress!
