THIS EVENT IS BEING RESCHEDULED. I will update you when we have a new date.

Cinefemmes presents a special screening of documentary "Are You Really My Friend?" directed by local filmmaker and Nevada Woman Filmmaker of the Year 2016, Robin Greenspun (Semicolon; The Adventures of Ostomy Girl.) 

Synopsis: Maine-based photographer Tanja Alexia Hollander set out to differentiate the actual from the virtual by photographing all 626 of her Facebook friends. Since then, she has traveled across the globe, setting up in-person meetings in her friends' homes to discover the ways in which friendship is defined, and how permission is granted into one's private-yet also very public-online life.

The director Robin Greenspun and artist/subject Tanja Alexia Hollander will be in attendance to answer questions from the audience.

This event is free and open to the public.

Join Tanja and Robin (AYRMF The Movie. Director/Producer) at MASS MoCA. Book signing to follow.
