A Celebration of Women and Leadership
The first annual Athena Film Festival opens
The Mighty Macs
In its first outing, the Athena Film Festival will examine the values women leaders share—vision, courage, resilience—and explore leadership across race, class, and culture. All said, the festival will have 30 programs, which include panel discussions and a variety of films, including fictions, shorts, and documentaries.
It’s brought to you by the group Women in Hollywood and Barnard College’s Athena Center for Leadership Studies. It will be held a Barnard College.
