The Nick is observing International Women’s Day in a reely big way — with its inaugural Femme Film Fest. This celebration of women in cinema will honor filmmakers, creators, and actors over the course of three days starting Friday, March 7 through Sunday, March 9.

The schedule features a lineup of 13 films including Greta Gerwig’s solo directorial debut “Lady Bird,” Dana Flor’s feminist music documentary “1-800-ON-HER-OWN,” and the classic 1990s comedy “Clueless.” Some screenings will also feature additional short movies, experimental films, or speeches.

The festival aims to amplify the female voices in film while showcasing their visions in different genres. Festival passes are now available for $75 for the entire weekend or at a daily rate. Attendees can also purchase individual tickets for specific films.
