Dear all, Some list members may be interested in the following film series at the Watershed in Bristol in March 2014: Translation/ Transmission: Women’s Activism Across Time and Space Over Women’s History Month in March 2014, Translation/ Transmission: Women’s Activism Across Time and Space will celebrate the diverse ways women activists have communicated their struggle and resistance through film. Well-received and less well-known films will be shown together for the first time in a season that explores the potential of film and feminist media to translate across the boundaries of language, genre, time and culture. Translation/ Transmission features activist documentaries and women filmmakers from the Women’s Liberation Movement in Britain, Jamaica, Palestine, Germany, Vietnam, USA, Iran and France/ Cameroon, highlighting the diversity of different feminisms across geographical locations and historical moments. Screenings will be enriched by discussion from activists, academics and artists; audiences will be invited to participate in discussions about the role played by feminist artists and filmmakers in rendering visible forgotten histories and marginalized experiences. The season aims to ignite in our imaginations a renewed and urgent thirst for feminist activism and creativity. The programme of films is at http://translationtransmission.wordpress.com/welcome/.
