ROCHESTER HOLDS PICTURE FEST INTERNATIONAL

ROCHESTER, the birthplace of motion-picture film, have announced an annual festival to celebrate the accomplishments of women in film.
Picture Fest International will honour directors, producers, cinematographers and other women renowned in the movie industry.
Catherine Wyler, Festival Organiser, said: “Women are a much stronger presence in filmmaking these days but they still have a lot of ground to make up. Only 17 per cent of the producers, directors and cinematographers of 1999’s top films were women.”
The first festival will take place on September 27 to 30, 2001 at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film.
