Terrific, ‘horror'fic film festival by women

With mid-day as media partner, the Wench Film Festival (WFF) is back with its second edition. Founded by filmmaker, writer and celebrity hair artiste Sapna Bhavnani, WFF is India's first film festival to feature films by women, for women, including BIWOC, LGBTQ+ women, and non-binary filmmakers. The festival supports, encourages and celebrates women and non-binary storytellers by providing a platform to showcase their work and professional development opportunities. The idea is to enable women to write and direct stories of their own and challenge the stereotypical portrayal of women. This year, WFF is collaborating with NYX Horror Collective, Final Girls Berlin, and Fatale Collective, and will screen their selection to the audience in India. Part of the jury this year are producer Todd Brown, writer-producer Melody Cooper, director-screenwriter Terrie Samumdra, music composer Mandy Hoffman and Mid-day's Editor-in-Chief Tinaz Nooshian, among others.

She takes old wooden furniture and upcycles it with a finish of paint (like chalk finish, milk paint finish and distress) and does upholstery when required. It starts with discussing the piece and its significance with the client, and how they envision the final product before she suggests the finish and fitting.
