Women in Film Series

(ASBURY PARK, NJ) — In a celebration of Women’s History Month, Bread & Roses, Jersey Shore’s only female-centric film festival, in collaboration with ShowRoom Cinema, an independent, female-owned movie theatre in Asbury Park, presents a film series showcasing the visionary works of female filmmakers. Featuring a diverse lineup of cult classics and timeless favorites, this series promises to mesmerize audiences with its bold storytelling and groundbreaking perspectives.

“I am thrilled ShowRoom invited Bread & Roses to collaborate in putting together this screening series showcasing a few amazing films by women” said Marci Mazzarotto, founder, and executive director of the Bread & Roses Film Festival. “Our main mission centers around supporting, elevating, and celebrating women in film and this curated series offers an additional space, beyond the festival, in which female-centric cinema can be experienced.”

The “Women in Film” series invites viewers to immerse themselves in the creative genius of directors who have defied conventions in the world of cinema. From gripping dramas to dark comedies, each film offers a unique glimpse into the complexity of the female experience.

Royce Meier, ShowRoom’s programming director, stated that “after the sold-out success of Bread & Roses’ very first festival, which was held in our theatres, we simply couldn’t imagine teaming up with anyone else to celebrate Women’s History Month.”

Kicking off on March 5, 2024, screenings take place every Tuesday evening at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased online at showroomcinemas.com or directly at the box office.
