Women comprise of only 5% of film directors, a 6% decline since 2001 and never has a woman won an Academy Award for best director. Girl Fest Hawaii unites organizations and filmmakers from around the world to focus on, and to provide a platform for, films made by or for women.

This component of Girl Fest is committed to offering the best films made by women, operating by the credo that women's rights are human rights. Among the many great films this year are: "Beyond Beats and Rhymes," a documentary by Byron Hurt about misogyny in Hip-Hop culture; "Barang" an eye-opening account of a handful of college students in Cambodia; and "Awake Zion" which draws the link between Orthodox Judaism and Rastafarianism.
