14:30 CET | My Name is Penelope; Weavers of Destiny
Exploring the female perspective in filmmaking and story.
Women driven stories show how women view, alter, and change history. We need a new interpretation on what it means to be a women. In storytelling, beautiful successful women aren’t new, nor are unhappy, angry or crazy women. So we need to find a new avenue where we don’t have to be a glamourous power kitten or apologize or shy away for acting dynamically or boldly as a man would,
If we place the “camera” of our lives on how it feels to be a woman instead of how we look; would we as an audience feel differently towards her? – inspired quote from Jill Soloway
Come join our discussion and discover what it would be like to weave your own destiny. | Guest Speakers:
