Hi All,

I am writing from Women Make Movies, the leading nonprofit distributor of 
films by and about women. I thought this listerv’s members would be 
particularly interested in some exciting feminist film news. WMM is thrilled 
to announce that Academy Award®-winning documentary SAVING FACE has been 
nominated for five Emmy® Awards: Best Documentary; Outstanding Science and 
Technology Programming; Outstanding Research; Outstanding Cinematography: 
Documentary and Long Form; Outstanding Editing: Documentary and Long Form. No 
other documentary this year has been more honored with nominations!
 
A moving and inspirational film, SAVING FACE profiles the courageous journeys 
of female acid attack victims in Pakistan and plastic surgeon Dr. Mohammad 
Jawad, who returned to his home country to assist them. Directed by American 
filmmaker Daniel Junge (IRON LADIES OF LIBERIA) and Pakistani director 
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, SAVING FACE is an intimate look inside Pakistani 
society, illuminating each woman's personal experience and showing a 
different face of a country so often in the headlines.

Since its release, SAVING FACE has screened as a key media component of 
hundreds of lesson plans and community programs around the world. Many 
esteemed academic programs have already incorporated the film into their 
curriculums, including Harvard University, NYU, Brown University, Smith 
College, Duke University, Tulane University, York University and Stanford 
University.  In March, the documentary joined an esteemed panel on Ending 
Violence Against Women at Albany Law School 
<http://www.albanylaw.edu/about/news/current/Pages/Saving-Face-Documentary-Screening-and-Panel.aspx>.
  SAVING FACE plays an integral role in spurring dialog around such crucial 
academic and social issues as Violence Against Women, South Asian Studies, 
Women’s Studies, Social Justice and Community Studies, Medical Justice, 
International Law and Women in Islam.
