Watch stories about fierce and fearless women at this four-day marathon honoring female filmmakers, running from February 29 through March 3 at Barnard College in Morningside Heights.
Film screenings span formats during this year's 14th edition, from the New York premiere of the documentary COPA 71—the fest's opening film, which chronicles the 1971 Women's Soccer World Cup and the pioneering female players who competed in the match—to narrative features like Erica Tremblay’s Fancy Dance, starring Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone, and Molly McGlynn’s Fitting In, a coming-of-age “traumedy” starring Maddie Ziegler. Cinephiles will want to sit in for panels and discussions with filmmakers and thought leaders, on topics as varied as abortion-focused storytelling to amplifying Indigenous women's voices in film.
