Joanie 4 Jackie is an alternative distribution system for women moviemakers. Every woman who sends her short film or video to Joanie 4 Jackie receives a Chainletter tape in the mail.

THE CHAINLETTER TAPES ARE PRIVATE DOCUMENTS FOR SLEUTHY WOMEN SEEKING PROOF OF WHAT THEY'VE SEEN AND EVIDENCE OF MORE. THIS IS GIRLCULTURE: NO STAMMER NO GLAMOUR.

Joanie 4 Jackie also receives submissions from lady curators for The Co-Star Tapes; a on-going series of thematic compilations. Founded in 1995 by performing artist and moviemaker Miranda July, Joanie 4 Jackie is currently screening and distributing over 100 movies, and receiving more every day.

Since 2003 a group of students at Bard College are administering the Joanie4Jackie project. Please send your tapes (20 minutes or less on DVD, mini-dv, or VHS) to us at:
