The Davis Feminist Film Festival is now accepting submissions for the 2010 festival to be held on Friday April 9 and Saturday April 10, 2010 at the Veteran’s Memorial Center Theater in Davis, CA.

The Davis Feminist Film Festival welcomes films from professionals, students, and community members locally, nationally, and internationally. People underrepresented in the media field are especially encouraged to submit a film for consideration.
