Greetings! My name is Angie Young and I am a feminist documentary filmmaker. I am currently scheduling campus screenings of my documentary, The Coat Hanger Project, for Fall 2010.
Here is a link to my trailer and a short description of the film: http://www.thecoathangerproject.com/clips
The Coat Hanger Project (53 min, 2008) is a documentary film about abortion and the current state of the reproductive justice/pro-choice movement. Before the legalization of abortion in 1973 in the United States, thousands of women died from complications resulting from botched illegal abortions. Filmmaker Angie Young walks the viewer through the personal stories and images of women who died from illegal abortion, women who were forced to use bent-wire coat hangers (the universal symbol for the pro-choice movement), sewing needles, or bike pumps when they couldn’t access legal abortions. The movie is positive, too, ending with a focus on the activism of the younger generation: among others, the Feminist Outlawz of Atlanta, who unite abortion rights activism with gender, racial and ethnic equality, and LGBTQ rights in their Planned Parenthood counter-protests.
My film has been reviewed on Feministing.com, UMD’s The Diamondback, and the Yale Herald, and was an official selection of the 2009 Rosebud Film Festival. It has been showed in multiple cities across the US, Canada, Ireland, the UK, Germany and Poland.
Please contact me if you would be interested in a review copy. Thank you so much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Angie Young
Director, The Coat Hanger Project
The Secretary-General of the United Nations has called for a summit meeting on the MDGS (Millennium Development Goals) September 20-22, 2010, in New York. Gender equality is one of the goals, and one that is generating much resistance from both secular and religious institutions. For more information see sections 4 and 5 of “Sustainable Development in the Gaian Perspective.”

Hi ladies. May I submit my latest book, in which the FWSA is mentioned, rather than a paper? It’s ‘David and Goliatha: David Cameron – heir to Harman?’ Keep up the good work! Mike Buchanan
Please i would like to know if you accept articles on gender issues for publication
Thanks

Hello
I have been commissioned by Stylist magazine to write a feature called This May Help You Understand The World. It’s all about the black holes in our knowledge that we’re embarrassed to admit to. In the feature I need answer those questions that we really want to know about, with the help of experts in each field.
One of the questions is: What is the difference between feminism, second wave feminism and post feminism?
Would one of your members be available to be interviewed? Ideally today or monday May 9th?
I need someone with cast iron credibility in that area.
Kindest regards

Hi everyone,
My name is Patricia Vilani. I am a student from MA Fashion Media
Production at London College of Fashion. At the moment, I am working
on my final project that will lead to a short art/documentary film by
the end of November. It will be presented in January 2012 at Victoria
House Basement and perhaps other places as well.
The main objective of my project is to identify significant
characteristics of women’s identity and sexuality in the 21st century,
by analyzing specifically how women have been relating to clothes and
appearance in order to express their own identity. Therefore, I would
like to interview people who have been working with the same or a
similar subject and would like them to contribute by helping me to
raise issues that need to be reviewed in order for women to
effectively communicate their true identities through their clothes.
It is generally accepted that clothes make statements and can
communicate people’s personality and moods. I think it is important to
look deeper and see what the real message is that is sent in each
particular case, and how people interpret these messages, especially
those relating to women’s dress and sexuality, both essential elements
in the fashion industry.
At the moment, I am looking for experts with
a wide knowledge on political and social aspects of fashion to contribute to
this project, by participating in an interview, which should take no
longer than half an hour.
It will be filmed and used on the short documentary.
Please, let me know if it is something that may be interesting for you
and I will explain this project further.
Also, if you want to see my portfolio, please go to
http://www.suspiciousbehaviour.co.uk.
It is not totally online yet, but you will be able to see my show-reel
and some of my work.
Best wishes,
Patricia Vilani
