The video of awards ceremony HWTIFF2021

By Janie .H Nov 12,2021

On November 12,2021, Hollywood IWAA held an

online awards ceremony for Hollywood Women

-Themed I international Film Festival 2021 at 10

a.m. EST. Judges,awards presenters and a part

of the award-winning filmmakers attended the

online ceremony from around the world.

 

“Love and peace, wisdom and power, are the key

 words of this festival,”said Margaret Sha,the

president of the festival organizing committee.

In addition to the “main competition”section,the

festival has added two sections,“Special Care”

and “My Perspective”,to encourage filmmakers

to care about life on earth and the disadvantag

-ed,while encouraging female filmmakers to think

independently and pay attention to the wider

world and life. “As a creator, you must grow tall enough in mind and spirit so that you can                                                                                            look down on the world from the clouds, but at the same                                                                                      time,keep your feet on solid ground and not separate

                                                            yourself from the ordinary life.“Margaret Sha hopes to                                                                                         expand women‘s voices globally through the festival

                                                            and promote the progress of women-themed films and

                                                            women filmmakers in general.

                                                            Hollywood IWAA has invited Giovanna to host the 

                                                            awards ceremony. Giovanna is the CEO of Heart of

                                                            Hollywood,a jury member of HWTIFF2021.                                                                          

                                                            Currently,the video of the awards ceremony is being                                                                                           edited and the winners list will be announced as the                                                                                           awards-ceremony video comes out.
