The Project on the Status andEducation of Women of the Asso-ciation of American Colleges begz.1operations in September of 1971.The Project provides a clearing-house of information concerningwomen in education and works withinstitutions, government agencies,and other associations and programsaffecting women in higher education.The Project is funded by the Car-negie Corporation of New York, theDanforth Foundation, and the ExxonEducation Foundation. Publicationof these materials does not neces-sarily constitute endorsement byAAC or any of the foundations whichfund the Project.

Concern for the education of women is growing across thecountry. Institutions are increasingly using a variety ofmaterials to focus on this issue. The medium of film is rapidlybecoming one of the most common methods. In fact, during thepast several years there has been an increasing interest oncampus in films about women. Film festivals about women arebecoming commonplace. Increasingly, Women's Studies courses, aswell as courses in history and the social sciences, are usingfilms to study and to demonstrate a wide variety of issues --the history of the women's movement, the socialization of womenand men, sex-role stereotypes, the physical and mental healthof both sexes, etc. Courses on "Women in Film" are beginningto appear in college catalogues across the country.

Often these resources are difficult to find and cannotbe located through traditional distributors of educationalfilms and materials. In response to the need for a summaryof the media resources available concerning women, the Projecton the Status and Education of Women has written this Resource

Handbook.*

The Project wishes to thank Jenine Basinger of WesleyanUniversity and Kristina Nordstrom, who organized the First

Intecnational Festival of Women's Films, for'their cooperation,and the advice and information they provided.

PLANNING A FILM FESTIVAL: SOME QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

Film festivals focusing on women are being held on manycampuses across the country -- from New York to Minnesota toCalifornia. Although there are many and diverse reasons forholding such a festival, it might be helpful to consider someof the following questions in organizing a festival of filmsconcerning women:

What are the goals of the festival? What

are the criteria for selecting films? Will thefestival revolve around a central theme?

To what extent do you wish to involve otherorganizations such as the campus Commissionon Women, continuing education program, childcare center, Women's Center, campus film seriesor drama department, WEAL, NOW and other women'sorganizations as well as groups from other col-leges? What would their roles be?

* The inclusion of items in this paper in no way constitutesendorsement by the Project on the Status and Education ofWomen or the Association of American Colleges.

-2-

What, if any, additional services (such as child care, refreshnents, having literature erother materials available, discussion groups) will be provided? Who will provide theseservices and how will they be provided?

What audience(s) do you wish to attract -- 18-22 year-old students, continuing educationstudents, graduate students, faculty, administrators, secretaries, other staff, women/men,community members, minority members, high school students and teachers, etc.? What servicesand films are appropriate for the particular audience?

What types of publicity will be the most effective and appropriate for your goals and audience --newspaper stories, flyers, posters, ratio and TV spots, etc.7

Who is responsible for following through on technical details, such as ordering the films,providing the additional services, and arranging for rooms, projectionists, equipment, etc,?

SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR REDUCING COSTS

If you have limited funds, there are several ways to peep costs to a minimum:

Look for private copies of the films, especially of short "movement" films.

Try to negociace the price with the film company.

Find films made locally -- by students in film :chools or classes, by area feminists, etc.Some of these films are quite good.

Plan coordinate showings of the film with another group or organization.

Look for appropriate "public service-type" films (e.g., "educational" films, recruitingfilms) which are generally either free or inexpensive. Check libraries for catalogues.

Use film strips.

Use TV commercials. (Sometimes TV stations will loan out-of-date commercials free ofcharge.)

Investigate films made for TV, especially for educational TV stations.

Investigate the films and film strips in public, school and university libraries; in child

study, film, art, psychology or sociology departments, etc.

Investigate the resources available through unions, the YWCA, Girl Scouts, etc.

Develop your own materials.

Use other media in conjunction with films (e.g., student plays, poetry readings, "guer'illa"theatre).

A WORD OF CAUTION: PREVIEW THE FILMS

The lists of films and accompanying comments are .ntended to be used only as a starting point.They should be regarded as a compilation of available resources and should not be regarded as an endorse-ment of the Project on the Status a.id Education of Women, Association of American Colleges.

The Project staff has not been able to preview most of the films mentioned in this paper. The

annotations or "comments" are abstracted from descriptions in film catalogues, program notes, news articles,`and summaries written by others.

We have tried to identify a variety of films and to include enough information about them to enablethose coordinating the films to eliminate films which are clearly inappropriate for their audience andpurposes.

-3-

Because of this and the diversity of the films on the following lists, the Project strongly recom-mends that films be previewed before they are shown. Most film companies will permit potential customersto preview films for the cost of postage and handling if arrangements are made sufficiently in advance.If this is not possible, we urge you to consult with individuals on your campus who are knowledgeableabout films and/or to write to the source of the film for detailed information.

FEATURE LENGTH FILMS PERTINENT TO WOMEN'S ROLES

This list of feature length films was prepared by Jenine Basinger, a faculty member in the ArtDepartment at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. Ms. Basinger has both taught courses onwomen in film and organized a comprehensive women's film festival at Wesleyan.

Because of limited space and time, the following list is not exhaustive and should not be regardedas THE definitive list of f lms pertinent to women's roles. Rather, these titles should be regarded asgeneral guideposts.

To order the films, get film catalogues from the person(s) who organize film series on your campusor on another campus, or from local theatres. For a list of major film distributors, see the Women'sFilm Co-op Catalog. (Details for ordering this catalogue are given in the section on "Other Resources.")
