Feminist Film Series

About

The Feminist Film Series is a year-round feature film screening series programmed and hosted by the 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. The theme for this semester is SciFi and Speculative Fiction.
