The Annual Feminist Film Festival is 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 a 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, as
well as, the deconstruction of normalized categories of being. The
University of Illinois Annual Feminist Film Festival is organized and
hosted by the campus Women’s Resources Center, in collaboration with a
variety of campus units and departments.
