Joan Braderman, director and narrator, followed her dream of becoming a filmmaker to New York City in 1971. By chance, she joined a feminist art collective at the epicenter of the 1970’s art world in lower Manhattan. Her first-person account now charts the history of this influential group from the inside out. The Heresies Collective published HERESIES: A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics from 1977 to 1992. All the women interviewed in the film (now ages 54-84) are still doing the work they fought for the right to do when they founded HERESIES. Post-film event: a panel of local artists will discuss the film at the Saturday, March 20, show; Director Joan Braderman will discuss the film at the Saturday, March 27 show. Sponsored by Vermont Women’s Fund and by Jane and Ed Pincus. Community Partners: Studio Place Arts, Vermont Commission on Women. 95 minutes. Film review
