The Athena Film Festival -- featuring MISS REPRESENTATION

Co-founders Melissa Silverstein of Women and Hollywood and Katheryn Kolbert of The Athena Center for Leadership at Barnard College present:

The Athena Film Festival - A Celebration of Women and Leadership at Barnard College

25 shorts, docs and features will unspool over the weekend all focused on women's leadership. The festival aims to foster female participation in every facet of independent and commercial filmmaking. Our message is clear: if the representation of women in mainstream media is going to advance, women need to be behind the scenes.

Don't miss our line up of speakers, panelists and directors: Hear Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lynn Nottage preview By the Way, Meet Vera Drake, screenwriter Delia Ephron (You've Got Mail) deconstruct the contemporary heroine, and dir. Debra Granik discuss the production of 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winner Winter's Bone.

WHEN: February 10-13
