WIFF announces 2022 LiUNA People's Choice Award

The Windsor International Film Festival has announced its 2022 LiUNA People's Choice winner.

This year's recipient is Women Talking directed by Sarah Polley.

WIFF audiences were moved by this impactful story of strength and resilience about a group of women deciding on how to move forward after years of abuse.

“We were so pleased to bring Women Talking to our audience two months ahead of its theatrical release, and are now even more proud that our audience has voted it the winner of the LiUNA People’s Choice Award,” said WIFF Executive Director and Chief Programmer Vincent Georgie. “It has been a privilege to work with Universal Pictures to make this happen, and we can’t wait to continue working with them.”

WIFF will be hosting a complimentary community screening of Women Talking on Sunday, November 6 at 5:45 p.m. at the Chrysler Theatre.
