Citizen Jane Film Festival
International Women's Film Festival.
About
The Citizen Jane Film Festival supports independent film by independent women.
The festival screens films in all genres by filmmakers from all ages, including award-winning indie films (such as Winter's Bone, Tiny Furniture, and Trouble the Water) as well as lesser known gems that have been overlooked by the film industry. We highlight the pioneers of film with special guests like Christine Vachon and Barbara Hammer. And we work to inspire younger and emerging filmmakers as well, screening first time filmmaker work and bringing guest artists from all ages (youngest has been 7 years old, oldest 72!) and all stages of their careers to come together and inspire and mentor one another.
Awards
