NYWIFT @ Woodstock Film Festival: Women in Film: Then and Now


nywift.org

Join us October 1st for a Women in Film: Then and Now panel at Woodstock Film Festival, co-presented by NYWIFT!

When Festival Founder Meira Blaustein and noted Critic Thelma Adams programmed their “Amazing Women in Film” panel for the first time in 2004, the morning events were the B-side of the male-heavy producer’s panel that followed. The audience was all women. And they were curious and engaged. Over the years, the panel gathered notable high profile women directors, producers and actors. And we began a dialogue that started in that quiet corner at Utopia Studios, and then blossomed with each new year, becoming part of a wave of advocacy for the women’s gaze in the media. Where did we come from, how far have we gotten, and what can we manifest for the future? That’s the goal of this now popular panel that began in relative obscurity and fought to be heard.

Please note that White Feather Farm requires proof of vaccination status to be presented at the door.
