The team that has been selected and the honorable mentions will be invited to be recognized at an awards ceremony in New York in October 2015.  Women outside of New York may send a designee to speak about their project and accept the award.
Teams of two or more women working together on the creative project may apply for the 2015 Collaboration Award.  Applicants must be members in good standing of two different organizations and/or affiliates with The Coalition.  (See organizations below.)

WMM Acquires THE SUPREME PRICE - Our SWAN Day 2014 Film!





FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WOMEN MAKE MOVIES ACQUIRES TIMELY & POWERFUL DOCUMENTARY
 "THE SUPREME PRICE" ABOUT WOMEN IN NIGERIA,
SHOWING AT FESTIVALS NATIONWIDE



New York, NY, May 21, 2014 –  Women Make Movies is proud to announce the acquisition of THE SUPREME PRICE for its 2014 New Release collection. The film will be playing at six film festivals nationwide including a special pre-festival press screening on May 29th at the IFC Center and will have its premiere at the Human Rights Watch Film Festivals in Chicago & New York.

Shedding light on the recent history of Nigerian politics, THE SUPREME PRICE gives us a deeper understanding into the current human rights crisis in Nigeria regarding the kidnapping of over 200 girls by the militant Islamist group Boko Haram. Joanna Lipper's extraordinary film is a feature length documentary that traces the evolution of the Pro-Democracy Movement in Nigeria and efforts to increase the participation of women in leadership roles. Following the annulment of her father's victory in Nigeria's Presidential Election and her mother's assassination by agents of the military dictatorship, Hafsat Abiola faces the challenge of transforming a corrupt culture of governance into a democracy capable of serving Nigeria's most marginalized population: women.

In this riveting thriller, politics in Nigeria is a do or die affair. Filmmaker Joanna Lipper combines daring reporting, exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes access shot during numerous trips to the unstable country with incredible, heart-stopping archival footage from some of the nation's most tumultuous, violent and corrupt periods during the past fifty years. A startlingly intimate rendering of the epic and tragic Abiola family saga set against the backdrop of the landmark 1993 Presidential Election and its aftermath, THE SUPREME PRICE provides a unprecedented look inside of Africa's most populous nation, exposing a deep history of political corruption and a culture where a tiny circle of political elites monopolize billions of dollars worth of oil revenue while the vast majority of 165 million Nigerian people remain impoverished.  This film highlights the courage of human rights heroine, Kudirat Abiola who died a martyr.  In present-day Nigeria, her enduring legacy inspires her eldest daughter, Hafsat, and a small, empowered group of Muslim and Christian women to work together in solidarity.  These women put their lives at risk to offer a glimmer of hope and the potential for growth, change and a new style of leadership to an ethnically and religiously divided country that has seen its potential for greatness unrealized since gaining independence from Great Britain in 1960.

THE SUPREME PRICE was produced with the assistance of WMM's renowned Production Assistance Programs which helps women filmmakers get their films on to the screen. Other films in the 2014 Human Rights Watch Film Festival New York that came from the program include E-TEAM, WATCHERS OF THE SKY, SEPIDEH, OUT IN THE NIGHT, and DANGEROUS ACTS STARRING THE UNSTABLE ELEMENTS OF BELARUS.

Women Make Movies looks forward to handling sales and distribution of THE SUPREME PRICE in the US and Canada.

SAG Foundation Event: Changing Landscapes: An Evening with Female Directors -

Screen Actors Guild Foundation
and The New School for Drama 
Invite You to a Very Special Event in Celebration of Women's History Month

Open to all WAM Coalition members


Changing Landscapes: An Evening with Female Directors

Date:  Thursday, March 14th
Time:  7:00 - 9:00 PM

Location:
Tishman Auditorium at The New School
66 West 12th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenue)
New York, New York 10016 

RSVP Required.  Seating Limited.  To make a reservation, please email nyrsvp@sagfoundation.org and write "Director's Panel" in the subject line.  Please indicate if you would like to bring a guest.  You will be asked to present ID at check-in.  You will receive an email confirmation.  Please do not call the school.

Description:  According to recent DGA statistics, 95% of feature films are directed by men and only 5% by women. More than 3100 episodes were produced in the 2011-2012 network season and 2011 cable television series but only 15% of these episodes were directed by women. According to a recent New York Times article, women direct only 15 to 20% of the Broadway shows, a number that is considered a slight improvement to most of the last century. Although the disparity is clear, a generation of women is changing the directorial landscape. The groundwork is being laid for a new game to be played in the business.  Join us for an inspiring and academic evening with women at the top of their careers in TV, Film and Theater.  Hear them speak their minds on why they do what they do, how they did it and where the tide is turning.
