Hi All,

 

I'm writing from Women Make Movies, the leading nonprofit distributor of

be interested in our newest release, ESTHER BRONER: A WEAVE OF WOMEN, a
captivating educational resource that filmmaker Ariel Jordan calls "...a
deeply fascinating and heartfelt portrait..." ESTHER BRONER: A WEAVE OF
WOMEN is a fantastic addition to classrooms, organizations and libraries
focused on literature, feminism, women's studies, history and Jewish
studies. To celebrate this release, WMM is offering a special promotion

ESTHER BRONER: A WEAVE OF WOMEN

< http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c871.shtml>

 

Prolific writer, passionate activist, dedicated scholar and pioneering
feminist, Esther Broner infused second wave feminism with a distinctive
Jewish voice. In the mid-1970s, as the women's movement was vastly
changing views on gender and equality, Broner created a radical new
Haggadah (the text for the Passover service seder) that preserved but
reimagined Jewish rituals and culture by shifting the focus onto women.
Transforming the male-centered service into a powerful reclamation of
women's lives and stories, it became, under Broner's leadership, the
basis for a Jewish feminist tradition that continues to today.

This inspiring documentary revisits Broner's richly engaged political,
artistic and spiritual life through archival photos, video footage
spanning several decades, and interviews with family and friends,
including Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Grace Paley, and other famous
feminists. Drawing its title from one of Broner's celebrated novels, the
film helps explore the intersection of feminism and religion, and helps
answer the question, is there room for feminism and religious tradition
in a traditionally male dominated space?

MY FEMINISM <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c412.shtml>

In an era of anti-feminist backlash, this articulate documentary
forcefully reminds us that the revolution continues. Feminist leaders
explore their racial, economic and ideological differences and shared
vision of achieving equality for women.

 

I WAS A TEENAGE FEMINIST
<http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c695.shtml>

Join filmmaker Therese Shechter as she takes a funny, moving and very
personal journey into the heart of feminism. Armed with a video camera
and an irreverent sense of humor, she seeks to find out if feminism can
still be a personal and political power.

 

SOME AMERICAN FEMINISTS
<http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c181.shtml>

This film explores one of the most significant social histories of this
century-the second wave of the women's movement-and is a fascinating
flashback on the women's liberation agenda in the light of 1990s
backlash.

 

THE HERETICS <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c780.shtml>

Tracing the influence of the Women's Movement's Second Wave on art and
life, THE HERETICS is the exhilarating inside story of the New York
feminist art collective that produced "Heresies: A Feminist Publication
on Art and Politics" (1977-92).

 

STEP BY STEP <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c470.shtml>

This inspiring film proves beyond a doubt that feminism began well
before the 1960s, and that its players were not just the white middle
class. Set against a backdrop of decades of war, prosperity, and reform,
their stories beautifully illustrate the continuity and diversity of
20th-century feminism.
