Half the world’s population is made up of women, yet very few of their stories make it onto the screen. The Athena Film Festival challenges that dynamic by showcasing women stories by other women and directed by women. Many are true stories where women stand up to unfairness. Others fictionalize real life situations to encourage and inspired. State of the Arts NYC is supportive of the Athena Film Festival and its mission. Visit their website, BUY a ticket and help tell more stories that are about women in a positive way. Below are trailers and opening night, see LITTLE PINK HOUSE, a true story that went to the Supreme Court.
State of the Arts NYC is a weekly radio show on WBAI radio, 99.5FM, where various sectors of NYC's arts worlds converge to report and analyze the dynamic state of the arts and its participants. Hosted by Savona Bailey-McClain, long-time Executive Director of the West Harlem Art Fund (WHAF), she confronts, analyzes and celebrates victories, challenges and changes in the country's dynamic creative capital. Reports from the field; from the far-flung fringes; from center stage and from behind the scenes—the host Savona Bailey-McClain draws on her 20 years' in the trenches to bring you snapshot after snapshot in living color. State of the Arts NYC can be heard on WBAI FM Radio and Tunein on Fridays from 5-6 p.m. and later on iTunes, Youtube and Mixcloud.
