The MUFF Society was a feminist community that aimed to celebrate the achievements of women and underrepresented groups in film and television.
We supported an inclusive definition of women and included trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people in it. (H/T)
Branding and logo by Erikson Melton.
The MUFF Society recognizes that part of celebrating women in film is supporting our local film community. There are so many talented local women filmmakers and we want to give them a voice—and a screen. Through our short film program, mini MUFF, we showcase at least one short film with each of our monthly screenings in and feature the filmmaker on our website.
If you have a short film that celebrates women in film, we want to see it! Submit below:
