What better way to celebrate Women’s History Month than by chatting with former Co-Chair of NYWIFT’s Women’s Film Preservation Fund (WFPF) Ann Deborah Levy and filmmaker Ariel Dougherty about the WFPF special screening of Surviva at Anthology Film Archives. Ann and Ariel talk with Penni Malloy-Harper about how the 70’s artistic movement inspired the movie and why preserving films by women is so important.

Co-Hosts Janine McGoldrick and Tammy Reese give a shoutout to several female pioneers of film and television and spotlight avant garde filmmaker Abigail Child’s upcoming retrospective also at Anthology Film Archives.
