The Feminist Conversations and Mirror Mountain Film Festival co-presented a special conversation exploring the challenges women face in independent media creation in Ottawa and beyond. Featured experienced local filmmaker Pixie Cram and experimental audiovisual artist Annie Socoria, the discussion offered practical insights and strategies for navigating barriers in the arts. Moderated by TFC’s Amira Nasser, the event welcomed artists at all stages of their careers, emerging filmmakers, and anyone interested in exploring their creativity and discovering the artist within.
