The document summarizes a weekend event at Mount Holyoke featuring four pioneering female experimental filmmakers - Peggy Ahwesh, Ericka Beckman, Abigail Child, and Su Friedrich. Each filmmaker curated a program of works that influenced them, totaling over six hours of films spanning the avant-garde genre. The screenings highlighted how these filmmakers challenged the male-dominated experimental film establishment of the 1970s-1980s with their emotionally-charged works dealing with gender and identity. Their films have since influenced a new generation of female filmmakers working in experimental cinema.
