Self Portrait with Lit Hands
City of Angels Women’s Film Festival gave the Annual Female Empowerment Award to iconic photographer Joyce Tenneson this season. The festival screened the documentary 'UNVEILED: Joyce Tenneson and the Heroine's Journey' by directing team Rebecca Dreyfus, Randy Gebhardt, and David Wright. 'UNVEILED' documents one of America’s most iconic photographers as she pursues her artistic vision over 40 years.
Festival Founder and Creative Director, Lisa K. Crosato felt it was important to acknowledge the legendary photographer who focused almost her entire career on capturing the inspirational essence of women from all ages and backgrounds including feminist icons like Gloria Steinem in ethereal portraits that illuminated their wit, strength and beauty.
