Now in its eighth year, the Women of Color Film Festival showcases a diverse array of innovative short films and videos from sisters of color. It celebrates the distinct perspectives of individuals who are united in giving voice to an underrepresented group. The curators are proud to highlight women of color as filmmakers, not only in the directorial role, but also in less visible but equally crucial positions as writers, cinematographers, and producers. Whether focusing on lovers of jazz music in Chicago, the despair of a mother in India, or activism in East Timor, the filmmakers cast a new light on the art of storytelling through the empowering use of spoken word, silence, and song.
