MadCat Special Event

The 12th Annual MadCat Women's International Film Festival presents two events to showcase work by women directors. September 19 at ATA, "MadCat Looks Back: 8 Greats from the Festival Archives" screens some of the best 16mm films MadCat has screened over its 12-year history, including works by local talent Kerry Laitala, Angela Reginato, and Phoebe Tooke. On September 23, "Hear It to Believe It" is a series of silent 16mm films set to live music performed by local musicians, including bands Tartufi and Silian Rail, under the stars at San Francisco's outdoor venue El Rio.

This year marks a change at MadCat with a new schedule for the call for submissions and the announcement of an expanded touring program. MadCat's open call is now exclusively for touring works, which will be selected by May 1, 2009, for a national tour to begin in fall 2009. Submissions are accepted beginning in October in all genres, favoring those that push the limits of genre and expand notions of visual storytelling.

The expanded tour will stop in San Francisco as well as continue to reach audiences at venues around the country. Past venues include the Anthology Film Archives, Brown University, Harn Museum of Art, Harvard Film Archive, the New School, Pacific Film Archive, PRATT, and RISD Museum of Art, among others.
