In celebration of Women's History Month, the Women in the Arts & Media Coalition continued its yearly Women Arts Day--in collaboration with our member organizations, including SAG-AFTRA, WomenArts, NYWIFT, and the School of Visual Arts BFA Film Department.
This year's event was on Saturday, March 23, at 2 p.m. at SVA Theater at 333 East 23rd Street. The films included Finding Her Beat, a documentary about female Taiko drummers, and Gone Before Your Eyes, a scripted short about an aging painter.
There was a talkback after the films moderated by Terry Lawler, Past Executive Director of NYWIFT, current Special Advisor to the Women in the Arts & Media Coalition, with Finding Her Beat's Director/Producer Dawn Mikkelson, Director/Director of Photography, Keri Pickett, and Producer/Principal Participant Jennifer Weir with the Writer and Director of Gone Before Your Eyes, Cara Yeates.
After the films and talkback, there was food, drink, and networking. As every year, the event was free, sponsored by the Coalition and the participating organizations.
