Women on the Go

March is Women’s History Month! Celebrating the accomplishments and contributions of women throughout film history, the series WOMEN ON THE GO shines a light on various character studies as they travel and take risks, acting against patriarchal norms in itself. The women in these films are strong and determined. Some are confused when we meet them, searching for clarity. Some are running away, never to return to their past situations. Some are simply wanting a vacation, and then get something bigger than expected.

The women in these films all take a journey, whether by plane, train, or automobile, in pursuit of something more or different. Some move through the film and come out with a radically new perspective. Some gain freedom. Some gain independence. Some are transformed. Enjoy these journeys as they unfold and show us other lives through the eyes of women on the go.
