BUSHWICK FILM FESTIVAL 2020 - "This is the must-see block"
We are beyond excited to share that “The Clarinet” is an official selection at the Bushwick Film Festival and will be a part of their ⚡️STORM THE GATES⚡️ series:
“During an impassioned keynote speech at AFI’s Directing Workshop for Women, filmmaker Jill Soloway said the following: “Instead of waiting for the industry to change or waiting for the guys to change, instead storm the gates, grab hands with each other … snarl at the bases of those watchtowers like wild lady-dogs. Wrestle the male directors out of the chairs, then put the chair back up and sit in it!”
The courageous filmmakers in this block all examine power — who has it, who gets to wield it — and leave us asking what change can be achieved through self-determination. This is the must-see block of 2020.”
