Synopsis
Filmmaker Pamela Tanner Boll will be appearing at a special 7:30 p.m. screening of WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? on Thursday, March 5 to discuss her film with the audience.

ONE WEEK ONLY! Though feminism has made impressive strides in the plight of women, many are still forced to choose between careers and motherhood. This documentary looks at the realities of trying to balance work and family, especially in the lives of female artists. WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? enlists the help of both experts and women who are trying to create art of various forms as they try to raise children. Director Pamela Tanner Boll worked as an executive producer on the Oscar-winning documentary BORN INTO BROTHELS.



From the producing team, that won an Academy Award for Born Into Brothels, comes WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?, a film that examines some of the most pressing issues of our time: parenting and work, partnering and independence, economics and art. The film follows five women artists as they navigate the economic, psychological, and spiritual challenges of making work outside the elite art world. From Hawaii’s Big Island to the suburbs of Ohio, from New York City to the deserts of New Mexico, we watch as these women—ranging in age from 27 to 65—fight to honor their vision and their families every day. Interviews with experts like Riane Eisler (The Chalice and the Blade), Maura Reilly (Sackler Center for Feminist Art-Brooklyn Museum) and the Guerrilla Girls add a cultural context for these women’s uplifting journeys. It is not accolades they seek; it’s simply the radical opportunity to live whole. Pamela Tanner Boll co-executive produced the Academy award-winning film, Born into Brothels: The Kids of Calcutta's Red Light District. She is currently producing the film projects: Global Moms; Life on the Edge: True Stories of Doctors Without Borders; 9/12: From Chaos to Community; Kashmir; and In a Dream. Nancy C. Kennedy edited the Sundance Grand Jury winner Why We Fight (2005) and Sundance winners Thank You and Goodnight and Riding the Rails. She also co-directed and edited Bluegrass Journey and Who’s On First.
