In the fall of 1973, a documentary following women's rights proponents at the 1972 Democratic Convention played at a small Greenwich Village theater to crowds wrapping around the block. Arthur Schlesinger Jr., described it as "the greatest combination of sex and politics ever seen in a film." But after a limited run, Year of the Woman disappeared for more than 40 years. Now, this doc that the Washington Post deemed "too radical, too weird and too far ahead of its time for any distributor to touch" has finally resurfaced. Funny, challenging, and very much of its time, Year of the Woman provides us with an extraordinary lens through which we can examine the 2016 election--where a woman, rather than seeking leverage from male candidates, may actually be the candidate. #StageOpps and #ScreenOpps (from Women in the Arts & Media Coalition,  League of Professional Theatre Women, and WomenArts) JOIN OUR MAILING LIST to receive Submission Opportunities for writers, directors, actors and more for Stage and/or Screen.  (You get to pick what you receive, and we will not send you information that is not requested.)
