IREWG International Women's Film
Festival The series of seven features will offer
quality films made by women that showcase the experience of women and
the views of women directors from around the world. This year, films depict
women's lives and perspectives in France, India, Mexico, Canada, South
Africa, New Zealand, and the U.S. The stories and themes deal with gleaning
food, ideas, and art in France; a girl's recounting of the summer of 1947
in pre-partition India; women stand-up comics; women living under apartheid
in South Africa; how women count in the global economy and the value of
their work; Zapotec women's lives, culture, music, and work in Oaxaca,
Mexico; and love and work in a Parisian beauty spa. On March 7th, for
International Women's Day, we will have the director of BLOSSOMS OF FIRE,
Maureen Gosling, present and talk about her filming and work in Mexico
with the indigenous Zapotec community in Juchitan. All films begin at 7:00 pm Market Arcade
Film & Arts Centre 639 Main Street Buffalo, NY
