ConnectHER Film Festival
High school and college students submit original short films focused on critical issues affecting women and girls, including barriers to education, global health, financial independence, poverty, climate justice, refugee issues, and more—highlighting how these challenges disproportionately impact them. Learn more.
We’re thrilled with how the film festival is turning students into filmmakers—and filmmakers into activists.

Featured Films
in a MOMENT
Dreams in Gaza are being shattered just like homes, with only a moment separating us from death.One blade threatens everyone, and one hand reaches out to save the family.Between beauty and flames, art and destruction.The short documentary 'in a MOMENT' by Asil Majed AlWadiya portrays Khawla's life.
Al Maram
Maram, a mother and journalist, she was forced to be displaced from her city. Just like what happened to her ancestors seventy-five years ago. Maram defies war displacement, targeting journalists, also being away from her children for long hours, so she conveys the truth, even if it costs her life.
