Women Without Borders Film Festival
http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/WRC/Women_History/WWB.html

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the third annual Women Without Borders film festival at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee will feature work by and about women who cross, erase and/or question borders of every kind.

7pm ** FREE **

Program: Private Eyes
This program features an eclectic selection of experimental documentaries and animated works from the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Norway and the United States. “The Intimacy of Strangers” follows a clandestine film crew that prowls the streets, capturing phone conversations. The filmmaker “steals” these intimate moments and explores the ever-shrinking gap between private and public spheres. “Deep Woods” is a performative video that lures male participants through evocative advertisements. These innovative works reveal the power of modern technologies to upend notions of privacy.
