The Women of Color Film Festival
The first website that I found references the Women of Color Film Festival at the University of California, Santa-Cruz in 1992. The participants were independent women of color filmmakers, some of which are listed here:
Patricia Diaz
Mona Smith
Ngozi A. Onwurha
The website can be found here: http://www2.ucsc.edu/woc/1992.html
After further reasearch, I discovered that this film festival occurs each year at UC, Santa-Cruz. In 2006, it was celebrating it's eleventh year, and featured many more women of color filmmakers. Again, a few are listed here:
Christine Choy, Sparrow Village
Victoria Comune, Swimming in English
Angela How, Sleepwalking
The website on the 2006 festival can be found here: http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/pfa_programs/women_of_color/current.html
This website also allows you to link to any previous festivals.
This website also produces a fact about women filmmakers each time you visit a new page on the site. This fact is one that I found particularly interesting:
Nearly half the top 100 films from 1997 had no women writers, producers, directors, cinematographers or editors.
By searching "Women of color filmmakers", almost of the hits produced on google led to this film festival at the Universtiy of California. This tells me about how popular the festival is and how much involvement there has been over the past eleven years. Many, many names of women of color filmmakers and their films produce hits that link to this festival - that there are too many to list on this blog post.
