CHAMPAIGN, IL — The Annual Feminist Film Festival at the University of
Illinois is a student film festival and a grassroots event that utilizes
art and alternative media to bring social issues into the fore. The goal of
the festival is to showcase independent film spanning documentary,
narrative, and experimental genres in order to explore perspectives often
missing from mainstream media and culture. Now in its 4th year,
the festival strives to serve as an inclusive public space for
underrepresented artists and filmmakers-particularly women and people of
color-to raise consciousness concerning issues related to gender, race,
class, sexuality, and other dimensions of social inequality. All films are
between 5 and 15 minutes in length. *Doors open at 6:30pm. A red carpet
walk will begin at 6:30pm, screening promptly at 7pm. Come get your picture
taken in your finest on the red carpet!*

This Annual Feminist Film Festival is organized and hosted by the campus
Women's Resources Center, with the support of a variety of campus units and
departments including the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations,
Department of African American Studies, Department of Gender and Women’s
Studies, Department of Media and Cinema Studies, Latino and Latina Studies,
Asian American Studies, American Indian Studies, Unit for Criticism and
Interpretive Theory, Department of English, Department of History, Program
in Jewish Culture and Society, Department of Philosophy, Department of
Psychology, University Housing, Office of Minority Student Affairs, Asian
American Cultural Center, Department of Art + Design, and the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences.
