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
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.
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.
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 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
