Don't Miss Kunjo and Arresting Ana at this year's Mill Valley Film Festival:

Mesdames et Messieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Les Lolitas! Not one, but two stars are born, as Stan and Jimmy, a duo of talented and delightfully inept young musicians in sequined drag and not-quite-fitted platinum blonde wigs, hit the road on a tour through Quebec, lured by the thrill of a free meal. But their journey leads them further than they ever dreamed to love, loss and inevitable self-discovery.

Admission: $12.50 (General), $11 (Senior discount).

The event will take place at S.N.O.B. Wine bar (http://www.sfsnob.com/) at 1327 Polk Street on Thursday, October 1st from 6-9 PM. Located in the heart of San Francisco, it's the perfect place to unwind after work with a glass of wine (or beer, or soda. Whatever suits your fancy!).

So come out to make a new connection, share resources, or find a collaborator for a project. It will be a fantastic opportunity to mingle with the community, not to mention feel good about supporting an arts organization dedicated to showcasing the best in women's cinema year-round!

We encourage you to invite all of your friends and colleagues, but please RSVP: sfwomensfilmfestival@gmail.com to let us know that you will be joining us.
