I’m very excited that I am going to be a guest this weekend in Columbia, MO at the Citizen Jane Film Festival. I’ve never been a guest a film festival before and I am very honored to be participating.
Here a brief description of the festival which is held on the campus on Stephens College:
The Citizen Jane Film Festival brings together a diversity of makers who are working with media in a variety of ways – from documentary shorts to handmade film to feature narratives to performance art and installation. The festival will be an opportunity for artists working in different genres and modes to have conversations and share resources.
I will be doing a workshop talking about my blog and issues related to women and hollywood, and will also be moderating a panel with all the different guests – Women Behind the Camera: A Conversation with the Women of CJFF09 on Saturday at noon. Here is the full program.
If you are in the area come check it out. I think they will be recording my workshop so hopefully I will be able to post it on the blog.
Next weekend, October 23-25, is The Baltimore Women’s Film Festival. The festival screens shorts, features, documentaries, animations and music videos created by women. Many filmmakers will be in town to discuss their work during the festival.
Half of proceeds go to support breast cancer patients at the Johns Hopkins Avon Foundation Breast Center.
If you are in Baltimore you should go and support this festival.
I used to live in Columbia, MO. Man, if I was still there, I’d love to meet up with you. I hope you have fun at the festival !
My mom went to Stephens, and I still have family in Columbia. It’s a lovely town. I’ll have to tell my mom that her then-very conservative alma mater now hosts a film festival!
