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.
With best wishes,
Carol O'Sullivan
