University Tour 2011-2012
· United States
WVN is thrilled to present the Women’s Voices Now 2011 University Tour, based on the collection of films from the Women’s Voices from the Muslim World: A Short-Film Festival, which premiered at the Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood, California in March 2011.
WVN is bringing the Festival to University campuses throughout the country and creating a forum for dialogue of issues related to the screenings. With discussions on women’s issues in the Muslim world from slavery to empowerment, the students will have a specifically created program to accompany the screenings with information not available anywhere else.
The Tour includes a screening of short films, a roundtable discussion providing further insight and context for the films, and a reception where attendees can connect and continue the dialogue in an informal setting.
WVN has held screenings at theUniversity of Michigan-Dearborn (January 2011), Simmons College in Boston (November 2010), American University in Washington DC (November 2010), New York University (November 2010), and most recently at Antioch University in Los Angeles (May 2011).

Global Tour 2011-2012
· The World
TODAY: WVN is currently in Jordan presenting screenings coupled with panels of speakers in 5 cities. Please see our blog for more details.
IN GENERAL: Screenings of the films are being organized in several locations around the world. Our goal of touring the Festival around the Middle East is to create a network for activists, filmmakers, politicians and academics that will build on the discussion and forge relationships with one another in an effort to effectuate the necessary change surrounding the issues presented in the films that are being faced by the women of the region.
One of the primary goals for the Global Tour is to bring screenings to those communities where the Internet is not widely available; thus reaching people who would otherwise have no access to our films. Admissions to all screenings abroad will be free of charge as our aim is to promote awareness and education on the issues depicted in our films.
