Thanks to the help of many wonderful volunteers and a a full roster of groundbreaking documentaries and feature films , the 2004 film festival was a great success. The schedule of films and special events from the 2004 festival can still be found on this site, so please feel free to look around and review those.

Also, the votes are now in for the 2004 Best of the Festival. 2004's best film --based on audience feedback cards distributed and filled in at festival screenings-- was What I Want My Words to Do to You directed by Judy Katz and Madeleine Gavin. In this documentary, women incarcerated in a New York State penitentiary, including Kathy Boudin, and Pam Smart, attempt to tell their stories and heal through a writing program with Eve Ensler. Heart of the Sea came in second and Tomboys came in third. To learn more about these films and the other wonderful films featured in previous years, click on our Archives link above.
