Bluestocking 2017 On Tour
Bluestocking Film Series is an annual multi-day destination festival based in Portland, Maine. Bluestocking celebrates and promotes talented, established and emerging filmmakers who take the creative risk of placing female protagonists front and center, and serves as a showcase to amplify female voices and stories. Bluestocking was the first of its kind: an all-narrative short film festival that requires films to feature female protagonist and pass the Bechdel-Wallace Test.
In 2017, Bluestocking hits the road, traveling across the U.S. and around the world. Our Maine tour kicks off on August 5 in Portland at USM's Talbot Auditorium. Eight short films by eight talented emerging directors.
Program running time is approximately 107 minutes.
