Women in Film San Francisco Bay Area is proud to be a community partner with the 2024 Mill Valley Film Festival’s world premiere of the highly anticipated documentary "The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & The Art of Survival.” A Q&A session will follow each screening.
“The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & The Art of Survival" is a visually stunning feature that traces the life and survival of the renowned painter through her powerful paintings – from her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris, to her move to the United States fleeing fascism in 1940, to her revival in the current art market. The film follows this remarkable refugee as she reinvents herself multiple times, looking behind the veneer of the publicity she generated for herself and examining the bisexual, Jewish artist who embodied talent, resilience, passion, and a relentless pursuit of artistic freedom.
For film ticket holders, please keep an eye out for exciting details about our exclusive post-screening soirée in downtown Mill Valley after the October 11 screening and a reception following the October 13 screening!

Monthly Table Reads
The Script Incubator meets on Zoom every third Monday from 7:00-9:00 p.m. to discuss the group’s work, which includes TV pilots, features, shorts, and web series. For 2024, we are reviewing each other's work "table read" style, in which we will read aloud up to 3 script portions of 1-10 pages each. No homework! We even have a team of actors to bring the parts alive so the scriptwriters can hear their words aloud. Each Zoom session will be recorded so the screenwriter can go back and see what worked and what didn't. And all participants will be encouraged to give feedback and support each other during the meetings.
