Women Make Movies: A 30th Anniversary Celebration (Thu., April 4–Sat., April 6, Bryn Mawr College, 610-526-7954, www.brynmawr.edu/visualculture/wmmindex.html) On any other weekend, this three-day salute to the storied feminist media arts center Women Make Movies would be a major event, and well worth tripping out to the ’burbs for. Unfortunately, it’s happening on a weekend when it’s doomed to be known as “that other film festival.” But if you’re in the neighborhood, or willing to start your PFWC late, it’ll be well worth the multitasking. WMM kicks off a year-long 30th anniversary celebration with this three-day series of screenings and panel discussions which both highlight the past and point to the future. The party gets started Thursday at 7 p.m., when Trinh T. Minh-ha presents the area premiere of The Fourth Dimension, her first DV-shot feature. Beginning Friday at 9:30 a.m., a series of three films explores the critical role of autobiography in the development of feminist film, including a screening of Deborah Hoffmann’s moving Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter, which concerns her mother’s attempts to deal with her worsening Alzheimer’s Disease, and Hoffmann’s attempts to deal with her mother. Films start up again at 2 p.m. with a program focused on “Memory and Culture,” including the locally-familiar Seven Hours to Burn, by Shanti Thakur. At 4:30, a panel including WMM executive director Debra Zimmerman and Swarthmore prof/WMM board member Patricia White discusses the organization’s evolving history. The evening closes out at 7:30 with “WMM’s Response to Hate,” including Kay Rasool’s My Journey, My Islam, which explores the conflicts of women who were raised Muslim but live in the West, and Michal Aviad’s Ramleh, which profiles three women living in a former Palestinian territory in the heart of Israel. Saturday’s events include “Feminist Filmmaking: History and New Directions,” a panel discussion with filmmakers Ruth Ozeki and Nandini Sikand at 1 p.m.; screenings of their respective films at 3 p.m.; and a closing-night showcase of student films curated by students from Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore at 7 p.m.
