Women’s Film Preservation Fund Presents: Sex, Gender, and Feminism through the Lens of 1960s–1990s Experimental Cinema
10 Dec 2025 @ 07:00pm
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 films.
