A Message from the Chair

​

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 2026 Female Eye Film Festival (FeFF), a celebration of extraordinary talent, creativity and the power of storytelling.

​

As I begin my first year as Chair, following nine rewarding years on the Board of Directors, I am honoured to continue supporting a festival dedicated to championing women's voices in film.

​

Our 2026 theme, Interconnectivity, celebrates the meaningful connections that unite us. Through film, we share stories, exchange perspectives and inspire one another, reminding us that creativity thrives through collaboration and our shared humanity.

​

My heartfelt appreciation goes to our Founder, Executive and Artistic Director, Leslie-Ann Coles, whose vision, passion and unwavering dedication continue to inspire us all.

​

To my fellow Board members, generous sponsors, community partners, dedicated staff and extraordinary volunteers, thank you for your tireless efforts behind the scenes. Your talent, enthusiasm and commitment are essential to the festival's continued success.

​

To our filmmakers, writers, directors, actors and creative artists from Canada and around the world, thank you for sharing your stories, vision and remarkable talent. You are the heart of this festival.

​

May this year's festival inspire us to dream boldly, create fearlessly and celebrate the extraordinary power of women in film.

​

Warmest regards,

​

Christine Argyris,

Chair, Board of Directors
