STILL DOING IT: THE INTIMATE LIVES OF WOMEN OVER 65
Director: 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. Outspoken for
their generation, these women mark a sea of change. Women over 65
are already the fastest growing segment of the population, and when
the baby boomers begin to turn 65 in 2011, their numbers will swell.
Still Doing It follows the lives of these women as well as this
society's complex relationship to aging with surprising and
revelatory results.

LADYFESTO
Director: 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.

DON'T LET THE SYSTEM GET YOU DOWN... CHEER UP!
Directors: 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 film will begin at 4pm. Tickets are $9 and each attendee will
receive a gift bag full of prizes and promotional materials from our
sponsors worth over $25. To buy tickets, go to
www.AltarMagazine.com. Space is limited.
