The Montreal Women Film Festival was established a few years ago at Montreal's Cinema du Parc in celebration of International Women's Day on March 8th. During the event, Linda Serpone, President of the Montreal Council of Women, emphasized the festival's importance in acknowledging films focused on women's rights and supporting female directors.
