Grab a bag of popcorn and watch one (or many!) of the 78 films featured in the 2021 Athena Film Festival. The annual festival, a collaboration between Women and Hollywood, an organization devoted to gender diversity and inclusion in the film industry, and Barnard College’s Athena Center for Leadership, explores and celebrates female authority in film. This year’s lineup includes “Test Pattern,” which the film critic Devika Girish said forces viewers “to question our presumptions about what rape and victimhood look like — onscreen and in life,” in her review in The New York Times. Films will premiere throughout the month. Tickets are $12 per film, and viewers have 48 hours after starting a movie to finish it.
When Anytime until March 31
