To celebrate the vital role of women in cinema past and present, Women

SUFFRAGETTES IN THE SILENT CINEMA

"Illuminat[es] the social and media context [of] the women's suffrage
movement" 
- Eleanor Whitney, Academic Programs Coord., Brooklyn Museum

This rich and wonderful assemblage of silent era footage opens a
historic window on how filmmakers on both sides of women's suffrage used
the exciting new medium to create powerful propaganda and images about
women. Features rare archival clips from films like A LIVELY AFFAIR
(1912), A BUSY DAY(1914), and WHAT 80 MILLION WOMEN WANT (1913).

SHOOTING WOMEN

"Its scope is breathtaking and the women's voices riveting..." 
-Kathleen McHugh, UCLA Center for the Study of Women

Featuring more than 50 camerawomen from around the world, this film
celebrates the talents and unflinching spirit of image-making women from
the sets of Hollywood and Bollywood to the war zones of Afghanistan.
Through archival footage and interviews, this film broaches persistent
issues of the glass ceiling, sexual harassment, and childcare. Includes
a special bonus disc with additional interviews, director's Q&A, and a
downloadable study guide.
