Welcome to SIFTMedia Collective (Sisters in Film & Television)
we are a collective of independent media artists in the Philadelphia metropolitan area,
come together to champion socially conscious women-identified filmmakers,
particularly from Black and Latine communities.
Our mission is clear: to amplify the voices and creations of these talented individuals
while creating opportunities for their growth and recognition.
Diversity is our strength. Our membership spans a wide range of experiences, ages, ethnicities, and gender identities.
From documentary makers to animators, from directors to sound recordists,
our collective represents a mosaic of talents and perspectives.
Despite our differences, we face common challenges,
including discrimination based on age, gender, race, and sexual orientation.
We believe that advocacy and economic empowerment are key tools in combating these injustices.
Our efforts extend beyond advocacy. Through projects like THE COVID1619 PROJECT and THE GOOD GRIEF PROJECT
we strive to produce meaningful content that resonates with audiences far and wide.
From film festivals like Sundance to public television and online streaming platforms such as Kweli TV,
we work tirelessly to ensure that the voices of our members are heard and celebrated.
As we continue to grow, we remain open to collaboration with like-minded artists and organizations
who share our vision of a more inclusive and equitable media landscape.
If you’re interested in learning more about our work or exploring potential collaborations, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at siftmedia215@gmail.com
Thank you for joining us on this journey!
