During the month of March, in celebration of Women’s History Month, UC’s Women’s Film Festival, “Lives of Women,” will be held at RWC. On Saturday, March 10, from 1-10 p.m., the public is invited to view twelve independent films and videos by, for, and about women from around the world. The event is free and open to the public. The evening program will feature Barbara Wolf, a video documentarist who works primarily with and for non-profit and social change organizations. Wolf will show her most recent documentary, “This Call Originates…,” and discuss her life as an independent producer. RWC History Professor Dr. Andrea Tuttle-Kornbluh notes that this should be an exciting event: “Many but not all are documentaries,” she said, “and several are narrative films that are produced independently, so they are not as available to view in a local movie theatre.”
Other films to be shown at the festival include: “Seven Women–Seven Sins,” “Tree Shade,” “My Feminism,” “Bedevil,” “Golden Threads,” and “The Righteous Babes.”
The film festival is sponsored by CityBeat, Cincinnati NOW (National Organization for Women), GCLC (Great Cincinnati Library Consortium), Crazy Ladies Center, and Friends of Women’s Studies.
The event is produced with the help of RWC’s Media Services, College Relations, the Department of Art & Visual Communication, Facilities Management, the Department of History, Art History, Philosophy & Political Science, and the Office of the Dean.
