Wonder Women: Director Angela Robinson discusses this year’s other Wonder Woman movie, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, about the Harvard-educated psychologist who invented the polygraph and created Wonder Woman in the 1940s as way to indoctrinate young men with ideas of female dominance.

Nancy Schreiber: I am looking forward to interviewing the amazing cinematographer Nancy Schrieber as she receives the High Falls Film Festival Susan B. Anthony “Failure is Impossible” Award on November 2nd in Rochester. I worked with Nancy on Visions of Light.
