Women Take the Reel Film Festival
This annual film festival is a collaborative effort among Women's and Gender Studies departments involved in the Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality (as well as select institutions/universities aligned with its mission) that features films about issues relating to gender, race, sexuality, class and/or feminism.
This year, we will offer a film screening in advance of the panel. Both films are available on Netflix and people are also welcome to watch the film on their own prior to joining the panel discussions. Registration for film screenings and panel discussions is required.
Full calendar of events found here!
Captioning provided at virtual film panel discussions.
****All films are free and open to the public.****
