This year the summit will be two-fold: first, celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. Set just a few weeks prior to the U.S. election, the event will look at how to inform, update, and galvanize women voters about the history in securing the right to vote and highlight women in politics that have pushed for the women’s rights and for the Equal Rights Amendment.
:
The summit will also recognize the contributions made by female documentary filmmakers and their efforts to create social, cultural and economic change in history, specifically addressing the opportunities and challenges filmmakers are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting
financial crisis as well as the Black Lives Matter Movement.

The NYWIFT Summit takes place with support provided by the Ford Foundation (@fordfoundation) and the NEA Foundation (@neaarts) as well as a curated film screening and panel series produced in partnership with International Documentary Association (@idaorg).
