"For all the big-name organizations that put an indelible stamp on the area film scene...local film offerings wouldn't be quite as rich without the less acknowledged venues and groups that also play a crucial part, [including] Women in Film & Video New England, for supporting aspiring and established female filmmakers alike."
-- The Boston Globe ( December 2005)
