Nevertheless Film Festival elevates the work of female-identifying filmmakers, as every film in the program has at least 50% female-identifying filmmakers in leadership positions. The inaugural festival took place in July 2019.
Vibe:
"Romantic Comedy" is a critical essay come to life. Every filmmaker should watch
this movie because it's a testament to the fact that you don't need a huge
budget to make something fantastic. It's solely comprised of clips from romantic

Vibe:
"Underestimate the Girl" may contain elements of cinema vérité, but it's
actually a carefully crafted music documentary. The emotional beats are
perfectly timed, and the takeaway message is clear: no matter how many times the
world tries to crush us, women will continue to rise
Vibe:
"South Mountain" is sweaty summer incarnate. Everything is hot, sticky, and slightly disheveled. No one is thinking straight or making great choices. Cigarettes are secretly smoked on kitchen stairs, berries are picked, tea is sipped. For a few weeks, you get to spend time with a family
Vibe:
Uncomfortable. "A Colony" brought me right back to high school and viscerally
reminded me of how much I hated it. It's impossible not to connect with Mylia
(Emilie Bierre) as she walks into a party and sees her classmates effortlessly
socializing and having fun. Why
