The 11th annual Athena Film Festival will take place virtually in March in celebration of Women’s History Month. As in the past, the program includes features, documentaries, and shorts, and this year, it includes the film Mama Gloria, which documents the life of transwoman Mama Gloria Allen – who also happens to be a CWCW alum along with the film’s director Luchina Fisher. The Athena Film Festival was co-founded by another CWCW alum, Melissa Silverstein, the founder of Women and Hollywood. Get your tickets here!

Because of the global pandemic, you can check out all the films you want right from the comfort of your own home! From November 12-25, 2020, the Teaneck Film Festival is still all about Activism: Making Change, addressing racism, oppression, the environment, the LGBTQ community, women’s rights, immigration, and other stories you won’t see anywhere else. Get an all access pass for $35 or individual film tickets for $5 each. Our own Sandi Klein will be giving talkbacks with several of the films including Mama Gloria, starring our past guest Mama Gloria Allen and directed by past guest Luchina Fisher. […]

In this new online series from the National Museum of Women in the Arts, women musicians perform original work via live-stream on the museum’s social media channels on the first Friday of the month. Each session includes a short interview, conducted over a cup of tea, which explores the artist’s creative process. The Tea proudly welcomes local jazz singer Heidi Martin on Friday, November 6th at 12 pm, and will be live streaming on NMWA’s Facebook page and at nmwa.org/livestream. Be sure to listen to our interview with the Director of the NMWA Susan Fisher Sterling.
