When it comes to women & film, the Hip Hop Film Festival brings to the forefront the baddest women to ever touch a camera.  Strong, beautiful, confident and with piercing narratives, these women prove the power of a female centered narrative is just as powerful as any man's.  Their stories cover every genre, and every format.. comedic web series, documentaries that will boil your blood, heart wrenching realities, crime stories.. all cinematic masterpieces in their own right.

These women are at the forefront of a new movement in Hip Hop.. one that does not ask for sex or video vixens, but one that focuses on their mastery of the camera, the crafting of a story and the power of the cinematic eye.

Their films are playing August 2-5th at the Hip Hop Film Festival.  Visit the site and get passes at hiphopfilmfestival.com  Support women in film.
