Now in its 13th year, this annual film festival is a collaborative effort among MIT's Women's and Gender Studies departments involved in the Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality (as well as select institutions/universities aligned with its mission) that features films about issues relating to gender, race, sexuality, class and/or feminism.
The focus is on the intellectual investigation of these issues, so every film is accompanied by a Q+A and discussion with the film director, producer, local activists and practitioners, and/or faculty members from the host institution for each film.
The MIT Media Lab's Program in Media Arts and Sciences is supporting the festival, and presenting three films at the MIT Bartos Theater on the following dates:
- “At Your Cervix” followed by Q+A (2/23 @ 6pm ET)
- “20,000 Species of Bees” followed by Q+A (3/8 @ 6pm ET)
- “Twice Colonized” followed by Q+A (3/15 @ 6pm ET)
All films are free and open to the public.
