PANEL TOPIC: WOMEN IN PROGRAMMING & CURATING

Have you ever wondered how someone got that amazing gig as Director of Programming, Programmer, Curator or Producer for a major film festival, repertory/art film house or for public and cable television?

Join us for an intimate, entertaining and enlightening evening of conversation with leading ladies of the Bay Area film and video community who are at the top of their field in programming and curating. You’ll have a unique opportunity to find out what they do, how they do it and how they got to do what they do! We’ll also hear their perspective on the past, present and future of film programming for festivals, repertory theatres and television.
