RT: Let's give you an overview of how @51Fest are celebrating the female majority on screen! Presented by @WomenintheWorld & @IFCCenter. #51Fest #WomenInFilm #NYC #Film
In the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s conviction, we applaud all the women who came forward to tell their stories and to hold him accountable. And we’re grateful we could help give them a platform by presenting Ursula Macfarlane's powerful doc UNTOUCHABLE in last year’s fest.
Weinstein guilty of rape but acquitted of other charges:

“There has been an overabundance of films that deal with black trauma... We wanted to offer a film that dealt with the other side of that narrative, present a story that we felt was universal.”

Excellent writing, as always, from @ManohlaDargis on the diverse voices featured at this year's #SundanceFilmFestival! Can't wait for these films to be seen by a wider audience.

What an inspiring an incredible moment from last night's #GoldenGlobes! We couldn't agree more. Let's do this 💪

YES.
Thank you, Michelle Williams. #goldenglobes2020

So excited -and unsurprised- to learn that @forsamafilm, which had its NY premiere at @51fest in July, is on the Oscar Documentary Feature Short List. Huge congratulations to the whole team👏👏👏

More great news for @forsamafilm which is now on the Oscars Shortlist for Documentary Feature! We were honored to host the New York premiere of this brave and bold film that told a story of war up close and through a female lens.
Thrilled to see all the Top Ten-List love and the four #GoldenGlobes noms for UNBELIEVABLE. We were honored to host the world premiere at the festival this past summer with showrunner Susannah Grant & stars @KaitlynDever, @DLMacdonald19 & Merritt Wever. @netflix
There's so much to celebrate as this decade comes to a close, but we're ready for what comes next! 🙌

I’ve never seen a film as beautifully personal & intimate as #ForSama, but also universal & of historic importance. @waadalkateab filmed 5 yrs of her life in #Syria. Thankfully she got out alive & made this incredible film with @watts_edward. Pls see it & ask your politicians to.
This week #ForSama hits America with a screening at @51Fest and theatrical release of the award-winning film in New York, San Francisco and LA cinemas.
