2012 Athena Film Festival Call for Submissions

Submissions are now open for the second annual Athena Film Festival.

The Athena Film Festival will accept submissions of documentaries, features and shorts from June 15 - September 15 and is looking for films:

• That will reveal the diverse narratives of women leaders from all walks of life-narratives of ambition, courage, strength and resilience.
• That will showcase women leaders who help us interpret the reality of the modern world-captivating stories of truth, determination, innovation and vision.
• That highlight the talents of emerging artists-films that capture a new generation's take on what makes exemplary women leaders.
