Thank you for joining our Film Fatales social mixer!
BYOP – bring your own picnic! Excited to reconnect with old and new friends? Ready to shoot the summer breeze with other filmmakers? This was the perfect event for you to join us in person for a summer picnic in Central Park for Documentary Filmmakers of all marginalized genders! We came out for some fun in the sun: eat, drink, network, and continue building our independent filmmaker community. This event was co-hosted by DOC NYC, Film Fatales, Brown Girls Doc Mafia, Pano Network, Maysles Documentary Center, and Women Make Movies. Thanks for coming!
We invited all participants to fill out a Skill Share Form in advance to build deeper connections. This in-person event was by invitation only. Only members and guests of participating organizations were invited to attend.
Documentary storytelling is flourishing like never before. DOC NYC is at the center of celebrating and supporting this cultural movement. We are the largest doc film festival in the U.S. and our goals are to: support filmmakers, create community, celebrate diversity, cultivate new audiences, and curate both a dynamic film fest and stellar PRO educational programming.
PANO (formerly NYC Women Filmmakers) is a non-profit organization that champions inclusion in Film, TV, and Media by connecting underrepresented creators with influential networks, valuable resources, and career-changing opportunities to impact meaningful change in the industry.
Brown Girls Doc Mafia is an initiative advocating for over 5,000 women and non-binary people of color working in the documentary film industry around the world. We fight inequality by building community and sharing resources, nourishing our creative brilliance, demanding access and visibility in creative and professional environments, and by cutting through oppressive industry structures to advocate for our members.
Women Make Movies is a non-profit organization that supports women producers and directors from the beginning, planting the seeds for a diverse and inclusive filmmaking landscape. As the world’s leading distributor of independent films by and about women, we amplify historically ignored voices and challenge the mainstream media.
Maysles Documentary Center is a Harlem-based nonprofit organization committed to community, education, and documentary film. We use filmmaking to amplify and expand under-represented artists and narratives, while empowering young filmmakers in creative self-expression, communicating ideas, and advocating needs.
