The Festival international de films de femmes de Créteil was founded by Jackie Buet in 1978 to showcase the directing talents of female filmmakers who, at the time, had difficulty getting their films adequately distributed.
[2] Located in Créteil, a city southeast of Paris, today[when?]
the festival is 10 non-stop days premiering 50 or more new films directed by one or more women.
The festival also offers film classes, thematic forums and debates.
The competition is open to women from around the world who have made a feature-length documentary, a short length fiction and a documentary film.
