The NYC Feminist Film Week presents its third annual film program committed to increasing the visibility of women and of all trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming filmmakers. Our program aims to foster critical dialogue among filmmakers and the general public, using queer/trans/feminist approaches to interrogate cultural constructions of gender, sexuality, race, class, age, and dis/ability.
Programmer: S.H. Varino; guest programmers: Patricia Silva & Maya Suess.

NYC FEMINIST FILM WEEK 2019: PROGRAM 7: HERE COME THE ECOSEXUALS!
The NYC Feminist Film Week presents its second annual film program committed to increasing the visibility of women and all trans and gender non-conforming filmmakers. The festival aims to foster critical dialogue among filmmakers and the general public, using queer/trans/feminist approaches to interrogate cultural constructions of gender, sexuality, race, class, age, and dis/ability.
Inspired by international feminist film festivals like Cineffable and the London Feminist Film Week, the NYC Feminist Film Week focuses on the social and material aspects of filmmaking, placing feminist film production within specific historical and geographical contexts while also creating connections among films, filmmakers, communities, and audiences. This year’s program pays homage to New Queer Cinema pioneer Cheryl Dunye and explores the theme of feminist film genealogies with a focus on collaboration as a feminist strategy in film and media practice. The FFW’18 line-up thus celebrates the intertextuality of film while recognizing the unique contributions of feminist film pioneers alongside new and emerging filmmakers.
Special thanks to Lisa Cortes, Cheryl Dunye, Kristin Hole, Joe Ippolito, Alexandra Juhasz, Aimée Mitchell, Joy Schaefer, Patricia Silva, Marc Smolowitz, Jeffrey Winter, Aubin Pictures, the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Center, the Film Collaborative, First Run Features, Gender Reel, Music Box Films, the San Francisco Dance Film Festival, TLA Releasing, and Women Make Movies.
The 2018 edition of the NYC Feminist Film Week was presented in partnership with WOMEN MAKE MOVIES.
The NYC Feminist Film Week is an annual non-profit film series at Anthology Film Archives.
