W-World Pitch Arena
November 2026
London (TBC)
W-World Pitch Arena is a new live pitching competition launched
at the Women and the World International Film Festival.
It provides a stage for emerging women filmmakers - with a special focus on displaced and migrant voices - to present their projects directly to producers, commissioners, and industry leaders.
Finalists will pitch either short or feature-length documentary or live-action projects in front of
a professional jury, followed by Q&A.
The winning project will receive mentorship, direct introductions to industry contacts, and recognition during the Festival’s official Awards Ceremony.
The Pitch Arena is not just a competition - it’s a platform for breakthrough, visibility, and connection.
Shine in the spotlight, step onto the stage, and be celebrated at the afterparty. Secure funding for your stories, connect with the industry, and most importantly- be heard.
Your voice matters, and in the Pitch Arena it will not go unnoticed.
