CHICAGO – There are few films to come out this year to be both as historically important as they are cinematically well-crafted. Of those handful of films, there is only one that I saw three times in theaters.
The Rise of the Femme Pyre
Interview: Layne Marie Williams on Chicago ‘Women of the Now’ Event, Mar. 4, 2017
Submitted by PatrickMcD on March 3, 2017 - 2:08pmCHICAGO – When we last talked to filmmaker and activist Layne Marie Williams, she was premiering her short work, “Dollface,” to universal acclaim. Besides her many upcoming film projects, Ms. Williams is also striking a blow for countering the negative aspects of the Donald Trump fear-mongering, with an event called “Women of the Now Presents: The Rise of the Femme Pyre.” This activist party and fundraiser will be at Camera Ambassador (Embassy Studios) within the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago on March 4th, 2017.
