*Description*: 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 2nd 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 6pm. Come get
your picture taken in your finest on the red carpet!*
