Biographer and film historian Eddie Muller will chronicle the unexpected triumphs and pitfalls of their lives. As they navigate studio politics, volatile love affairs, paralyzing insecurities, competitive peers, the fearful paranoia of the anticommunist witchhunt and life in today's Hollywood, these women prove they're far tougher than any character they played in the movies.
Theatres Making a movie is hard.
Getting it seen can be even harder. Our panel will lead an excursion into the world of independent film distribution, making stops at international film festivals, neighborhood video stores and all points in-between. So if you're posting films on the Web or stapling flyers to telephone poles, join us for a lively discussion of grassroots distribution and learn how to get your work seen by someone other than your mom. Moderated by Michelle Coe, Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers. Copresented by the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers and Film Arts Foundation.
