Join us at Paradise Valley Community College starting February 2nd, as we kick off the Spring 2022 International Film Festival, celebrating female directors from across the globe. Women directors are heavily underrepresented in film, so this spring we’ve chosen to promote these strong women’s accomplishments to empower women everywhere.
The film festival will be held in-person this year at the college’s Center for Performing Arts, northeast side of campus, 18401 N. 32nd St, Phoenix. Doors open at 6 p.m., however, seating is limited for social distancing. All films are free and begin promptly at 6:30 p.m.
