For Elizabeth English, the Moondance International Film Festival is about more than just film screenings and an opportunity for up-and-coming moviemakers to network-it's a chance to right the historical wrongs of an industry that has long demeaned the role of women. As she enters her fourth year of producing the event, English talks with MM about her festival's ambitious mission statement, the quick success she's found and why a film festival should celebrate more than just the actors and director.
