Local Filmmakers Panel: Documentary and Activism | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

We live in an age where documentary films have the power to inform the masses on hot topic issues from global warming, preserving freedom of speech to the genetically modified food debate. San Francisco International Women’s Film Festival (SFWFF) 2010 will host a panel dedicated to “Chicken and Egg Filmmaking and Activism.”

Chicken & Egg Pictures is a hybrid film fund and non-profit production company dedicated to supporting women filmmakers who are as passionate about the craft of storytelling as they are about the social justice, environmental and human rights issues they’re embracing, translating and exploring on film.

Meet, talk with and see the work of Chicken & Egg supported San Francisco Bay Area filmmakers. All of them currently in process — incubating, hatching, editing and preparing for take off.

Panelists include: Gail Dolgin and Robin Fryday director of The Barber of Birmingham, Christie Herring director of The Campaign, Sally Rubin director of Deep Down, Dawn Valadez director of Going On 13, Gabrielle Mullem director of See What I’m Saying, Lynn Hershmann director of W.A.R – Women Art Revolution. Panel moderated by Judith Helfand.
