About Us
The Archer Film Festival is dedicated to empowering female filmmakers and others who are often overlooked in the industry. Our goal is to advance the artform by showcasing work from high school students whose perspectives are rarely seen or heard. As a result, submissions from underrepresented voices are encouraged. Our first annual festival in 2012 featured keynote speaker, ``Hunger Games`` producer, Nina Jacobson.
Other past speakers and panelists include:
- Amy Adams
- J.J. Abrams
- Victoria Alonso
- Kate Berlant ’05
- Amanda Brown
- Samy Burch ’05
