Last Call - Women's Film Event in NYC

[Guest guest]

We're running out of tickets for COMING UP SHORT: FILMS BY WOMEN

FILMMAKERS so buy yours today!

 

On April 10th, celebrate Women's History Month at the Pioneer

Theater in NYC and walk away with a gift bag full of prizes from our

sponsors worth over $50. Films include:

 

LADYFESTO: Anne Cremieux

Ladyfesto was shot during Ladyfest Philly, a women's arts festival,

in March 2003. The main organizers are interviewed as well as

artists and attendees. They talk about the war in Iraq that broke

out when the festival started, feminism, arts and crafts, consensus-

based organizing, inclusion, and the sisterly city of Philadelphia.

Both an account of the festival and a guide to DIY political and

artistic organizing, Ladyfesto is both compelling and fun to watch.

 

STILL DOING IT: THE INTIMATE LIVES OF WOMEN OVER 65: Deirdre Fishel

Flying in the face of this culture's extreme ageism, Still Doing It

explores the lives of older women. Partnered, single, straight, gay,

black, and white; nine extraordinary women, ages 67 – 87, express

with startling honesty how they feel about themselves, sex and love

in later life and the poignant realities of aging.

 

DON'T LET THE SYSTEM GET YOU DOWN... CHEER UP!s: Mary Christmas and Jen Nedbalsky

Cheer Up! documents the vibrant movement of radical cheerleading at

one of its most exciting moments during the radical pro-choice

cheerbloc contingent to the April 25, 2004 March for Women's Lives

in Washington D.C. The video looks at the growing movement of

Radical Cheerleading, its roots and its future and the means by

which it organizes. The video is a landmark for the Radical

Cheerleading movement which up until now has been poorly documented

from within the movement itself and mostly covered by corporate and

male-dominated media groups.

 

The films will begin at 4pm. Tickets are $9 and each attendee will

receive a gift bag full of prizes (tshirt, Ani DiFranco & Rachel

Sage CDs, candy, book, calendar, cosmetics sample, and more!). To
