Join us for the 5th Anniversary of our Annual Feminist Film Festival, a
night of student-made short films (between 5 and 15 minutes in length)
screened one night only at the Art Theater Co-Op in downtown Champaign! The
Annual Feminist Film Festival 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. Celebrating it's 5th anniversary, 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.
