Girls in the Director's Chair

Young women making films? Who knew? Girls in the Director’s Chair presents some of the best and most vivid works made by girls ages 8 to 18. This annual festival embodies the soulful minds of young artists across Minnesota and keeps the fire burning for young women filmmakers in a male-dominated business.
