Joanie 4 Jackie

Description:

Joanie 4 Jackie is a female network of chain-letters to share and promote independent films. These films are compiled onto video tapes which each contain 10 short films made by women from North America, Europe and Australia. The participants can use the medium that they prefer to make the videos, and also the choice of topics is open. Every tape is sent to participants or offered for sale. The compilations are also screened at film festivals and DIY movie screening.

Goals:

To enable female film directors to collaborate in creating their own culture.

Beneficial Outcomes:

Promoting the widespread circulation of material which might never make it on to broadcast television.
