The largest and longest-running women's film and video festival in the US. Since 1980, Women in the Director's Chair's Annual Festival has brought an astounding array of films, videos and other media by diverse artists to audiences from throughout the Midwest.

Each year, the Festival draws on the energy and insights of a diverse group of women, girls and transgendered people of varied backgrounds to view, discuss, debate, review, envision, examine, interpret, appreciate, question, struggle over and ultimately determine the films and videos that will show that year. The goal of the festival is to create a space in which a plurality of visions, representing an array of cultural, political and personal priorities, results in exchange and interaction.
