F-Rated Films

All WOFFF films are F-Rated and many of them are Triple F-Rated. The F-Rating is a film rating which is awarded to films directed by and/or written by women. If the film also stars significant women in their own right, the film is Triple F-Rated, our gold standard.

The aim of the rating is to highlight films where the main person telling the story is a woman; to encourage film exhibitors to F-Rate their programme; to help film goers easily find films directed and written by women and ultimately to change the stories we see on screen – and therefore influence our culture making it more equal.

Following on from the Hollywood Report which in 2013 showed that fewer than 5% of the top 200 films were directed by women we wanted to ignite discussion about who is telling the stories we see on screen as well as looking into the roles of women on screen.

And so the F-Rating was born.
