Join us for an intimate screening of EGG, the provocative film that delves into the complexities, contradictions, and absurdities surrounding modern motherhood and womanhood and the choices women make – to be or not to be a parent.

Described as "a searing examination of how class, privilege, money, and freedom of choice intersect" (Refinery29), and as a film where "questions about parenthood might make audiences uncomfortable" (the Washington Post), EGG challenges societal norms and sparks meaningful conversations. It was made with female heads of every department & awarded the inaugural Women In Media & and The Arts Collaboration Award.
