Bechdel Films is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to supporting and promoting female filmmakers.  We actively do this through our: Bechdel Film Series, Bechdel Film Festival and Bechdel Film Projects. The Bechdel Film Festival is dedicated to supporting and promoting female filmmakers. The festival will take place, October 25-27, 2019 in Houston, Texas. In addition to short and feature films, we’ll have panel discussions, happy hours and much more.  All films must be directed or co-directed by a female.  All scripts must be written by a female.
