Women’s Voices from the Muslim World: A Short Film Festival
March 18, 2011
A festival of short films created by Muslim women takes place this weekend in Los Angeles, showcasing 98 films chosen from over 200 submissions. The film festival, according to its own description, “will highlight pro-women voices from within the Muslim world and present an unfiltered and honest account of these women’s stories–the experiences that shaped their lives, the challenges that must be overcome before freedom and gender equality becomes the status quo, and the people who are making this transformation happen.” All the short films are available for viewing on WomensVoicesNow.org. In fact people from 139 countries are currently watching, commenting on, and rating these films. The top films, alongside panel discussions, are being screened at the Los Angeles Film School this weekend.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on this topic. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him. So I should thank you for the free lunch I got.
