Hear from 2025 recipient Aisha Fairclough, Producer & Director, on her festival experience:

“Attending the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival was exactly what I needed. Between the insightful panels and the powerful films, the festival offered both professional growth and genuine connection. Thanks to the WIFT + Toronto Scholarship for the SJIWFF, I felt supported, inspired, and reminded of why I love this work. The festival was a true cheerleader, honest, encouraging, and deeply empowering.”

Remember BUDDY— the bright orange unicorn and star of that classic children’s television show who brought joy and life lessons into your living room? Inside the colorful world of "It's Buddy!", a group of children spend their days singing, dancing, and helping Buddy spread happiness. But when one child refuses to play along, Buddy is not pleased and cracks begin to appear in this seemingly perfect world.
