Women with Vision

Walker Art Center, Minneapolis

Film/Video
FESTIVAL OF FILM AND VIDEO 2002
WOMEN WITH VISION: RESTLESS AGE

UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, TICKETS FOR SCREENINGS ARE $6 ($4 WALKER MEMBERS)
AUDITORIUM

In the United States and around the globe, women filmmakers are restless. They are showing the world what they see and helping to change the way we see the world. Their films tell of the complexities of coming of age in China, Germany, and France; of a suburban American mother's anxiety for her children; of New Yorkers embracing changes since September 11; and of a scientist developing self-replicating automatons in a lab somewhere in California.

Restless for justice, women filmmakers are presenting activist strategies through documentaries that provide insight into political and social struggles: a story of runaway girls in Iran; a biography of political activist Margaret Randall; and an examination of a progressive business plan for women in Bangladesh. Now in its ninth year, this monthlong festival shows the dynamic and absolutely refreshing vision of women filmmakers from around the world and celebrates their insurgent spirit.

I am pleased to note that Marshall Field's Project Imagine has become the 2002 festival sponsor. This generous gesture clearly demonstrates Marshall Field's vision and ongoing commitment to support arts and culture in our community. Each year, the Women with Vision festival has grown: more filmmakers submit work to be screened and audience numbers last year broke all previous attendance records. There is vitality in the production of film and video works and interest in what women filmmakers have to say.

The energy in the Minnesota film community shines through the 10 films by Minnesota filmmakers that enliven the festival. The Girls in the Director's Chair program of films and videos by young women has evolved with the guidance of the Walker's Education and Community Programs Department, in particular Jennifer Kennedy-Logan and Witt Siasoco. Teen co-curators Erin Anderson (South High, Minneapolis) and Megan Kelly (The Blake School, Minneapolis) selected the works this year. Girls in the Director's Chair is made possible by a generous gift from the Women's Foundation of Minnesota , which marks its fifth year of support for the festival. The opening-night reception is hosted by the Minnesota Film and TV Board. I am deeply grateful to all of the funders, artists, distributors, and programmers who contributed to Women with Vision, and I thank you all for your extraordinary support.

The Walker Art Center is one of the nation's primary resources for contemporary art. Focusing on the visual, performing, and media arts, the Walker takes a multidisciplinary approach to the creation, presentation, interpretation, collection, and preservation of the arts. It is known for its major exhibitions of 20th-century art, for its presentation of vanguard music, dance, theater, film, and video, and for its innovative education programs. Many of the performers are invited to participate in artist-in-residence activities and are frequently commissioned to create works that premiere in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, a project of the Walker and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, is adjacent to the museum. The Walker's permanent collection of more than 8,000 works represents important artistic currents of the 20th century, in a range of styles from figurative to abstract.
