The Athena Film Festival which will take place on February 10-13, 2010 at Barnard College, NYC, is a world-class celebration of film and the women who write and direct them, women who are behind the camera, in front of the camera, and in the industry at-large.
The Festival program includes films from across the globe:
▪ Feature Films that tell the extraordinary stories of strong, bold women leaders from all walks of life – stories of ambition, courage, resilience
▪ Documentaries that showcase women leaders who have used grit and moxie to make a difference – captivating stories of determination, innovation and vision.
▪ Short Films that highlight the talents of emerging artists – films that capture not only the stories of women, but a new generation’s take on what makes exemplary leader
▪ Conversations on Leadership with filmmakers, actors, and critics that provoke audiences to challenge conventional thinking and examine leadership with a new lens.
