ConnectHER Presents
ConnectHER Film Fesitval
The Paramount Theatre
Friday, April 4, 2025 and Saturday, April 5th
Join us at the ConnectHER Film Festival, a celebration of powerful storytelling from visionary filmmakers and changemakers worldwide. Over the past 12 years, ConnectHER has received over 2,000 short films from young filmmakers in 93 countries, bringing diverse perspectives on the challenges and triumphs of women and girls.
On Friday night, immerse yourself in short films that capture inspiring, raw, and moving stories told by young creators. This year, we’re showcasing films from 24 countries, including award-winning filmmakers from past festivals! After the screening, engage in a live Q&A session with these talented storytellers and get an insider's look into their creative journeys.
Saturday night brings the excitement of our red carpet Awards Ceremony, where we’ll present $30,000 in awards to outstanding filmmakers across categories like Best Documentary, Best Narrative, and Women & the Environment. Walk the red carpet and celebrate these impactful stories that are sparking conversations and driving social change. This year’s ceremony features special guests, including legendary Austin producer Elizabeth Avellán, soulful Austin-based band Ley Line, Sudanese poet and activist Emi Mahmoud, and surprise guests from the film industry.
Private prayer space will be available for all patrons from 6pm - 9pm in the Paramount Mezzanine Lobby.

Seating is general admission. Please arrive early for best seats.
