Women on the Run

Women on the Run

8 films

I’m inviting you to run away with me—but not to escape. To run is active, not passive; everyone who runs has somewhere they want to go—a *there* that differs from the here and now. Running is a force for change. The women gathered in this program are all runners in their own ways. They confront oppressive systems, unequal relationships, the discomforts and constraints of growing up… Some succeed in their escape, some don’t, some are still running and reflecting, and some wander between reality and another world. Let us watch these films and run with them—into the realities women live in, and toward the distant “elsewhere” they long for.
