A bold, vibrant celebration of women’s vision and voice on film

Step into the inventive world of women’s experimental cinema with a 70-minute program - from documentary-inspired storytelling to avant-garde experiments that radiate the spirit of New York City, these short films offer a kaleidoscopic view of identity, liberation, and artistic rebellion. Expect everything from animation and performance to the playful self-taught filmmaker.

Presented by the Women’s Film Preservation Fund (WFPF) of New York Women in Film & Television, this event is part of our 30th Anniversary Celebration Series—three decades of safeguarding and championing women’s cinematic legacies.

Join us for this special end-of-year screening as we also honor Anthology Film Archives, our long-time partner in preserving and showcasing women-led film.

30 years of saving women’s films
The Women’s Film Preservation Fund of New York Women in Film & Television is the only grant making program of its kind in the world dedicated to preserving the cultural legacy of women in the industry through preserving films made by women. Founded in 1995 by NYWIFT in conjunction with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), WFPF has preserved over 150 American films, across all genres, in which women have played key creative roles. The WFPF is rewriting the film history books, by saving one moving picture at a time.
