Women taking physical action or driving social change are the focus of the Artemis Women In Action Film Festival. Produced by Artemis Motion Pictures, the Santa Monica, California festival presents narrative, documentary and animated films with women in leading or co-leading roles. Its programme encompasses features, shorts and screenplays, alongside music by female composers, solo artists and female-led bands. The festival dates to 2015 and includes discussions with stuntwomen through its All-Stars of Stunts panel.

The festival is on hiatus until further notice. Its latest documented edition is the sixth, a virtual festival with screenings from 10 April to 10 May 2021, alongside live online discussions and an awards celebration in April.
