The spotlight is set, and the stage is ready! The Women in Film Awards (WIFA) is back for its 6th edition, and this time, it’s pouring into history with Gordon’s Gin as its official partner.
This powerhouse collaboration promises to elevate WIFA’s mission of recognizing and celebrating female trailblazers in Kenya’s film industry.From directors and screenwriters to cinematographers and producers, WIFA has been a champion for women in film, ensuring their stories and contributions don’t go unnoticed.
Now, with the backing of Gordon’s, the No.1 international gin brand, the celebration gets a bold new twist—an immersive experience that not only applauds excellence but also toasts to the women shaping Kenya’s cinematic future.
“Women have been at the heart of Kenya’s evolving film industry, yet many still go unrecognized,” says Dr. Susan Gitimu, Founder of WIFA. “WIFA was created to change that narrative, and we are thrilled to have Gordon’s on board as a partner who shares our vision of empowering and elevating female creatives.”
This year’s awards are more than just a ceremony—they’re a movement. A space for women in film to connect, network, and celebrate over specially curated Gordon’s cocktails.
The partnership underscores a shared vision: empowering women, elevating their craft, and ensuring their voices shape the future of storytelling.
“Film is a powerful medium that shapes culture,” says Zipporah Ndung’u, Senior Brand Manager, Gordon’s Kenya. “By supporting WIFA, we are ensuring that female creatives receive the visibility and recognition they deserve. Having previously partnered with Insignia Productions on Single Kiasi, we are thrilled to now support WIFA in its mission.”
And if you needed any more reason to raise a glass, Gordon’s has been part of cinematic history, even making an appearance in global classics like James Bond’s Casino Royale.
Now, it’s cementing its legacy in Kenya’s film scene by backing the women who are redefining storytelling.
The Women in Film Awards 2025 will take place on 8th March, marking International Women’s Day with a grand celebration of outstanding female filmmakers and industry professionals.
Cheers to the women who make magic on screen—this one’s for you!
