Here’s a great opportunity for all of you in the Bay Area to see these great movies on the big screen.  Usually the only way  to see Women Make Movies films is at a festival or if it gets picked up for TV.  But this week at the Roxie in SF, these films are playing and if you around, you should check them out.

Catch 22 WMM films, including new releases and top favorites, at the Women Make Movies Film Festival at San Francisco’s Roxie Theater, from August 28 through September 3. This week-long festival kicks off with ELLA ES EL MATADOR (She is the Matador), a fascinating profile of two female bullfighters, and Kim Longinotto’s Sundance World Cinema Documentary Jury Prize-winning film ROUGH AUNTIES, about a group of fearless women fighting for abused and neglected children in South
Africa.

Other festival highlights include SAY MY NAME, a global tour of unstoppable female hip-hop lyricists; THE SARI SOLDIERS, an
extraordinary story of six women’s efforts to shape Nepal’s future in the midst of civil war; and TILLE OLSEN – A HEART IN ACTION by local filmmaker Ann Hershey, an inspiring homage to the renegade author andactivist.

On closing night, watch WHO’S AFRAID OF KATHY ACKER?, a thoughtful biography on the late outlaw writer and punk icon.
