Undocumented Women’s Fund invites you to our annual outdoor Translocal Feminist Film Series, “Immigrant Women: resisting and re-existing” (

As the criminalization of immigrant communities intensifies and our already precarious access to basic social services is curtailed, we have curated a list of films that highlight the intersecting character of our struggles–whether over labor rights, access to social services, and/or against surveillance, detention and deportation. In its fifth year, our Film Series also celebrates the resilience, sisterhood, solidarity and life-sustaining labor performed by immigrant women and gender expansive people.

Join us throughout August for three bilingual (English/Spanish) screenings:

🪶 Saturday 8/30, Hummingbirds (2024) dir Estefanía “Beba” Contreras and Silvia Del Carmen Castaños

English with Spanish subtitles

In Hummingbirds, Silvia and Beba tell their own coming-of-age story, transforming their hometown on the Texas-Mexico border into a wonderland of creative expression and activist hijinks. Filmed collaboratively over the final summer of their fleeting youth, their cinematic self-portrait celebrates the power of friendship and joy as tools of survival and resistance.

🚨 All screenings will be at Haven plaza (711W 168th St NYC 10032 across from Barnes and Noble).

⏱️Doors open at 6:30 and film will begin at 7:30, followed by an open discussion lead by fellow organizers and filmmakers.

📍Stay tuned for the details on sister screenings in cities throughout Mexico and Central America.

💲Donations will be collected at the door, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.Come prepared: we will have food by local vendors, drinks and merch for sale!
