Announcing the 2013 Athena Film Festival giveaway

The Athena Film Festival, dedicated to showcasing films made by women, is now in its third year. It’s hosted by Barnard College’s Athena Center for Women’s Leadership and founded by friend of the blog Melissa Silverstein (do you read her blog Women and Hollywood? You should!), and runs from the 7th to the 13th of February. And this year, Feministing is proud to partner with the festival. Which means freebies for you, dear readers!

We’re giving away a bunch of tickets, two pairs to Putin’s Kiss, two pairs to Fast Girls, two pairs to The Girl, and two pairs to Brave Miss World.

So, what do you have to do to get your hands on them? Get thee to Twitter! Be the first to tweet at @feministing and tell us the title of your favourite woman-directed film – documentary or scripted – and tell us why you love it. In just one tweet, so keep it short and sweet. The first eight people to tweet at us will get free tickets, and if you don’t make it in under the wire, you can still use the discount code (FEMAFF21) when you buy your tickets and passes.

Ready, set, tweet!
