Women in Film showcases the best from June 19-22

The Nevada Women’s Film Festival returns to fabulous Las Vegas June 19-22 for its 11th Anniversary. This year, 47 films by and about women from 13 countries will be hosted at the UNLV Department of Film.

Join the festival Sunday, June 22 at 1:30 p.m. for The State of Arts & Culture: More Than Just Sin City to meet the arts and culture leaders setting the next stage for the Entertainment Capital of the World. Las Vegas is so much more than Sin City and the stereotypes seen in film! Despite portrayals of the city as the place to behave badly, there exists a thriving world of creative individuals, educators and a vibrant arts community.
