“Satisfied,” a documentary about Renée Elise Goldsberry‘s life while creating her iconic onstage role in “Hamilton” and “Black Box Diaries” — the Oscar-nominated documentary about a director’s investigation into sexual assault — are part of the 2025 Athena Film Festival at Barnard College’s line-up.
AFF announced its narrative and documentary feature lineup ahead of the event taking place from March 6-9 on the Barnard campus in New York City. This year marks the festival’s 15th anniversary and comes with a partnership between Barnard’s Athena Center for Leadership and the Women and Hollywood initiative.
“Our 2025 festival marks 15 years of championing diverse, authentic narratives through a powerful, women-centered lens,” artistic director of AFF Melissa Silverstein said. “The impact of this endeavor is shaped by the creators who bring these stories to life, as well as the audiences who support and amplify their reach.”
