The mission of the Bluestocking Film Series is to encourage and promote production by filmmakers of narratives built upon strong, complex female protagonists. These are characters who are as fully-developed, heroic, complex, and flawed as their male counterparts. We select cutting edge and provocative films that explore women’s relationships with one another. Starting at 7:30pm on March 20th, Maine Microcinema will be hosting a selection of work produced by Maine-based directors featured in the Bluestocking Film Series. Directors will be present for Q&A.

Face It
Sharyn Paul Brusie, 2013, 10 minutes
A quirky dramedy about a woman who faces herself and who she has become in the mirror. She takes us on an emotional journey, while moving through her fear and acceptance of growing older. This is a humorous story of reflection, discovery and revelation.
