Through Our Eyes: Female Filmmakers Tell All

Saturday, March 12
3:30PM - 4:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 17B
531 E 4th St

Pp51802

The industry is changing for female filmmakers. The ACLU challenged Hollywood for gender discrimination against female directors. The DGA and many others did studies. Blogs went viral. And Jill Soloway said “Watching something written and directed by women, to me that’s the future.”

It’s time to hear where things stand from the women on the front lines. Established independent female filmmakers will share how gender discrimination does or does not impact them on a per-project basis, whether gender should matter at all, their take on the current movement for change, and what they see coming down the line.

Organized by Film Fatales, a global collective of female feature directors.
