I am very excited to share that the 2012 Women Make Movies New Releases Catalog is now available! This catalog features 20 new documentaries, by women and about women. The 2012 titles span the globe and explore timely topics. You can learn about these films and many more by visiting our New Releases page here: http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/new_releases.shtml
**SPECIAL PROMOTION: For a limited time only, WMM is offering 10% off ANY** of our films, INCLUDING 2012 NEW RELEASES. See below for more details on this special LIMITED TIME offer.
Some of this year's films include:
*NO JOB FOR A WOMAN: THE WOMEN WHO FOUGHT TO REPORT WORLD WAR II <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c820.shtml> The story of three women war reporters - Martha Gelhorn, Ruth Cowan and Dickie Chappelle - who challenged the perceived place of women journalists during World War II.
*THE FAT BODY (IN)VISIBLE <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c818.shtml> Brought together by social media, fat acceptance activists are using the blogosphere strategically to make their bodies visible in a world that still thinks fat women should hide.
*GIRL POWER: ALL DOLLED UP <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c817.shtml> A thought-provoking short film that examines the notion that "girl power" has been used not to empower young girls but to bring in money by focusing on appearance.
*SKYDANCER <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c826.shtml> Academy AwardŽ nominated director Katja Esson explores the colorful and sometimes tragic history of the Mohawk men who have built some of the tallest skyscrapers in New York City, leaving behind their lives on the reservation, forced to balance urban life and tradition.
*THE POETRY DEAL: A FILM WITH DIANE DI PRIMA <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c831.shtml> She remains the most famous woman poet of the Beat Generation; legendary poet Diane di Prima, the current poet laureate of San Francisco, is a pioneer who broke the boundaries of class and gender to publish her writing.
*ANNA MAY WONG: IN HER OWN WORDS <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c830.shtml> The most famous Asian American actress in her time and still seen as a breakthrough artist who succeeded in a hostile Hollywood environment that hasn't necessarily changed.
*QUEST FOR HONOR <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c823.shtml> Shortlisted for an Academy AwardŽ, this searing and necessary documentary investigates the still prevelant practice of honor killings in the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq.
*INVOKING JUSTICE <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c834.shtml> In Southern India, a group of women have established the first women's Jamaat - a tribal council, always made up only of men, that applies Islamic Sharia law to cases without allowing women to be present to defend themselves, even in domestic abuse cases.
