Northwest Tracking: The Women in Film PDX: Member Screening
Despite phenomenal talents like Ava DuVernay, Kathryn Bigelow, Greta Gerwig, Patty Jenkins, Nicole Holofcener, and more, the number of women filmmakers remains infuriatingly low: In 2018, a mere eight percent of the year’s top-grossing 250 films were directed by women. Supporting work from women filmmakers is always important, and you’ve got an excellent chance to do so at the fourth annual Women in Film PDX: Member Screening. Put on by the non-profit group made up of Portland women who work in film and media, the event features members’ new, short films and a post-screening dialogue. ERIK HENRIKSEN
