Coming this October: The Feminist Conversations and Mirror Mountain Film Festival are co-presenting a special conversation exploring the challenges women face in independent media creation in Ottawa and beyond. Featuring experienced local filmmaker Pixie Cram and experimental audiovisual artist Annie Socoria, the discussion will offer practical insights and strategies for navigating barriers in the arts. Moderated by TFC’s Amira Nasser, the event welcomes artists at all stages of their careers, emerging filmmakers, and anyone interested in exploring their creativity and discovering the artist within.Registration is free, with an optional suggested donation of $10. Reserve your spot and make a donation through the Mirror Mountain Film Festival’s Tixtree page.
