She/Her Fest is an annual non-profit film festival held in the Pacific Northwest, dedicated to empowering, recognizing, and promoting art created by women-identifying filmmakers. It aims to amplify voices that may not otherwise be heard by showcasing new, independent artwork with a budget cap of $25,000, and is open to everyone regardless of gender [sheherfest.com](https://www.sheherfest.com/about), [filmfreeway.com](https://filmfreeway.com/SheHerFest). The festival is notable for its unique awards that reclaim derogatory terms, such as 'The Ruthless Bitch' and 'The Worldly Whore,' to highlight positive traits and challenge stereotypes [filmfreeway.com](https://filmfreeway.com/SheHerFest), [sheherfest.com](https://www.sheherfest.com/awards).
