Fifth Annual Athena Film Festival

Here’s an event that screams that girls truly do “Run the World,” with media to back it up. The Barnard College fest, which focuses on strong women both behind and in front of the camera, features critically acclaimed films (Dear White People, Obvious Child), a ceremony celebrating Jodie Foster's career, and shorts and talks with filmmakers and professors including a sit-down with dancer-choreographer Twyla Tharp covering the concept of moving images in technology. Various locations and times; visit athenafilmfestival.com for details.
