Women's Film Festival at the Tropic Cinema
March is Women’s History Month and the Key West Chapter of the National Organization for Women is hosting the 5th annual Women's Film Festival with a 6 p.m. screening each Wednesday in March of a film directed by and about women.
The 5th annual Women`s Film Festival, presented in collaboration with the National Organization for Women Key West chapter, is set to showcase four compelling films throughout the month of March. Each screening promises an enriching experience, beginning with an introduction that sets the stage for the themes and significance of the film being presented. Following each screening, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions during post-film QA sessions. This festival not only celebrates the diverse voices and stories of women in cinema but also fosters a platform for dialogue and community engagement surrounding these impactful narratives.
Catherine Called Birdie is a delightful coming-of-age film set in medieval England, directed by Lena Dunham. Based on the bestselling novel by Karen Cushman, it follows the spirited 14-year-old Catherine, nicknamed "Birdie," who is determined to avoid the traditional roles expected of her as a noblewoman. With wit and resilience, Birdie navigates the pressures of an arranged marriage, family expectations, and societal norms, all while discovering her own identity. The film is a charming blend of humor and heartfelt moments, showcasing Birdie`s journey of self-discovery and her quest for independence in a world that tries to limit her.
