If you haven't seen it yet -- go to FIERCE LIGHT -- in theatres NOW in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal.
DOXA opened last night in Vancouver with Larry Weinstein's "Inside Hana's Suitcase" and a party at the VAG. WATERLIFE plays on Tuesday at DOXA. HelloCoolWorld and Rivershed Society community sponsors.
Today I went to the film: "Shooting Women" which was an inspiring doc about women behind the camera. Featuring over fifty women cinematographers and directors from around the world. It was shot over a period of six years by pioneering filmmaker and cinema studies professor Alexis Krasilovsky. Includes interviews from camerawomen from RAWA. (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan)

“We are the first camerawomen in Afghanistan ...”

The film was followed by a panel of feisty women discussing how Women Behind the Camera are underrepresented. Moderator Rina Fraticelli mentioned some stats from a study recently done that can be viewed at: www.pleaseadjustyourset.com.
