Feminist Film Series
About
The Feminist Film Series is a year-round feature film screening series programmed and hosted by the Barnard College Media Center.
We engage with the community to challenge what feminist film is, and aim to create a positive discourse for fellowship and social change amongst media makers and media audiences.
All screenings take place in the Media Studio (Milstein 105C) at 6pm, unless stated otherwise.
