MORE ABOUT THE CITIZEN JANE FILM FESTIVAL & STEPHENS COLLEGE: 
Begun in 2008, the Citizen Jane Film Festival is sponsored by Stephens
College, the nation's second oldest women’s college. Stephens has been
nationally recognized for its performing arts and its new digital
filmmaking program. The college boasts an impressive crew of young
women – performers, writers, filmmakers – who directly benefit from
the festival. Stephens is working hard to train the next generation of
women filmmakers so they can enter the industry and share their untold
stories and visions.

This October, the Citizen Jane Film Festival will once again be
unleashed in Columbia, Missouri – a growing university town located in
the heart of the USA. The festival celebrates the work of women behind
and in front of the camera through screenings, discussions, exhibitions, and other unique community events.
Last year, the festival brought together a cadre of very impressive women: Tia Lessin
and her Oscar-nominated documentary “Trouble the Water”, a program of
shorts by experimental film maverick Stephanie Barber, and acclaimed
actress Misty Upham with “Frozen River” – just to name a few.
