Cinema-Femina is a do-it-yourself meetup group that encourages it's members to scout out and see films made by and about women.

I take my greyhound out to beaches and parks often, but I rarely see other greyhounds in the parks and on the beaches. Let's help our pets make new …

Deep inside our grey matter however are competing models of the world fighting for supremacy through w …
