Compelling Lineup of Films at the 9th Annual Hot Springs International Women’s Film Festival 

Highlighting the Women’s Film Festival are stellar performances in films like “Loren & Rose,” featuring international star Jacqueline Bisset. 

The 9th Annual Hot Springs International Women’s Film Festival, produced by the Hot Springs Arts & Film Institute will be held May 10 – 12 at the enchantingly historic Malco Theater. The film festival promises to be an unforgettable showcase of cinematic brilliance. 

While the theater is famously known for hosting the magical performances of Maxwell Blade, from May 10 – 12, it will instead serve as a pivotal hub for the celebration of women in film, transforming into a dynamic stage for stories of empowerment, diversity, equality, and the relentless spirit of women filmmakers. 

This year, attendees have much to anticipate with a diverse and inspiring selection of films on the agenda. The lineup spans unreleased features, gripping international documentaries, compelling narratives, laughter-inducing comedies, innovative shorts and animations, and a unique spotlight on the talent thriving within Arkansas. 

Highlighting the festival are stellar performances in films like Loren & Rose, featuring international star Jacqueline Bisset, and Alicia Coppola’s, And You Are? with Jane Seymour, featuring music by Melissa Etheridge. Additionally, The Goat, showcasing award-winning performances by Mira Sorvino and John Savage, and the celebrated What No One Knows, a Cannes Film Festival darling for Best Indie Feature and Best Debut Actress, are just a small sample set to captivate festival-goers. 

With each film chosen by judges for its profound storytelling and impact, the festival offers a rich tapestry of narratives that promise to engage, inspire, and astonish its audience.  

Born from a response to inequality in the industry, the festival is organized with a mix of passion and purpose by filmmakers, volunteers, and the devoted members of “Women in Film of Arkansas.”  

The 9th Annual Hot Springs International Women’s Film Festival is more than an event; it’s a rallying cry for change, a call to action for those who champion the role of women in cinema. To become a part of this transformative movement, keep an eye out for our comprehensive schedule of films in the upcoming May edition of The Springs Magazine.
