How do movies give us a starting point for talking about sexism?
Join us in our ongoing intersectional answer to this question.
In 1965, the term "sexism" was coined. In light of this historical marker, Sexism|Cinema began in 2015 as film series which considers how sexism is embedded, endorsed, and/or challenged in the cinema. How far have we come in more than fifty years? How far do we have to go? Selected films feature female protagonists, and our in-person screenings are followed by a 30-minute discussion led by expert guest speakers or Texas Tech faculty.
Join us at Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock on the first Wednesday of every month:
September 4 - December 4, 2024.
What do films tell us about a society’s views on gender? How do cinematic representations reaffirm or challenge our “common sense” beliefs about gender, sexuality, race, and class?
