Event

Half the Picture

Timely, incisive and invigorating HALF THE PICTURE consists of interviews with high profile women directors including Ava DuVernay, Jill Soloway, Lena Dunham, Catherine Hardwicke and Miranda July, and many others, discussing their early careers, how they transitioned to studio films or television, how they balance having a demanding directing career with family, and challenges and joys along the way. Their stories are insightful, funny and infuriating, sometimes all at once. Experts about gender inequality in Hollywood weigh in, establishing the magnitude of this employment discrimination issue that shuts woman out across the board in an industry that systemically denies their expression and point of view. The film has screened at the Sundance and SXSW film festivals and LIFF is proud to premiere it in NJ. Expected to Attend: Director Amy Adrion
