Her Voice Her View Film Festival(July 15-29, 2006), a part of the Pioneer Theater’s Female Film celebration makes us happy to say, "It’s that time of the month!"
Featuring over 40 films by and about women, Her Voice Her View includes
a variety of styles and subjects. "The Shape of Water" reveals an
intimate encounter with five very different women in Brazil, India, Jerusalem
and Senegal, narrated by Susan Sarandon. Black women and men unveil the reality of sexual violence and healing in African-American communities
in the feature-length documentary "NO!" directed by Aishah Shahidah
Simmons. In "Left Lane" folk-poet Alix Olsen's life on the road is chronicled as
she searches for independent thought, grassroots defiance, and
passionate connection in between spoken-word performances.

Abortion, hip-hop, religion and spirituality, motherhood, peace, death,
responsibility, national politics, gender identity, representation, and
resistance are just a handful of what is to come in this amazing film
festival. Every person who attends will receive a goody bag filled with
items generously supplied by our sponsors. For more information, go to
