Women’s work

Boston filmmaker, photographer, and University of Massachusetts Amherst Professor Emeritus Liane Brandon (inset) was at the Tribeca Film Festival over the weekend to talk about her 1971 short film “Anything You Want to Be.’’ Brandon’s appearance was part of Tribeca’s Independent Women: 15 Years of New York Women in Film & Television-Funded Film Preservation event, which featured works by women from 1950 to 1984. Brandon said of the screening and its young audience, “To have people in their 20s saying they really connected with your work, that’s pretty amazing.’’ . . .
