Groups The Groups are designed to provide you with a regular, ongoing, "safe" environment to get feedback on a current project or to learn about some aspect of filmmaking that is important to you. Going to Groups is also a good tool to keep your project(s) on track. Currently there are three Groups:  Screenwriters, Producers and Filmmakers.

NYWIFT/CWNY Screening Series CineWomen NY is dedicated to bringing women's cinema projects to a larger audience. To that end, we've partnered with the Pioneer Theater/Two Boots to create a monthly evening of shorts and features from the female point-of-view.  Beginning January 2008, CWNY joined forces with NYWIFT to co-host the screening series together and now alternates programming each month.  The series runs on the 4th Tuesday (7-9 pm) of every month except December and August. Our screenings include a Q&A with the filmmakers, followed an afterparty.  Pioneer Theater is located at 155 East 3rd Street, off Avenue A in New York City. 

Show and Grow Show and Grow is designed to give you and your project a boost. It's your opportunity to show your work at any phase and get feedback from a group of experts. Show and Grow is held on a request-only basis - you request, we put one together for you so it can be customized to fit your focus, need or help you solve a particular problem. 

Workshops Designed to help members at every level of their careers, CWNY offers a variety of workshops from industry professionals.  

CineWomen NY Soiree The definition of a soiree is, "...an evening party or social gathering, especially one held for a particular purpose." Our only purpose here is to offer film folk a nice relaxing atmosphere to come out, meet each other, and have some fun.  Currently the Soiree is held monthly at Via Delle Zoccolette, 95 Avenue A.  Free food is served and reduced priced drinks are available.  You don't have to be a CineWomen NY member to go. You don't even have to be a woman. All are welcome. Bring your friends. Bring your relatives. Bring your friend's relatives -- as long as they are filmmakers, crew, cast or film lovers. Just show up, mix, mingle and enjoy... no hassle and nice people...
