Asheville Parks & Recreation closes out Women’s History Month with a screening of short films at Tempie Avery Montford Community Center (34 Pearson Drive in Asheville) produced by women from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 30. Helpmate is accepting donations online and at the event to benefit its domestic violence services.
“We are excited to celebrate women and the narratives they create at the Asheville Women’s Short Film Festival,” said Holly Alexander, Program Leader at Tempie Avery Montford Community Center. “Film removes many barriers and we hope to spark conversations during the evening as we showcase works from both local and national filmmakers.”
