This annual film festival is a collaborative effort among Women's and Gender Studies departments involved in the Graduate Consortium in Women's Studies (as well as select institutions/universities aligned with its mission) that features films about issues relating to gender, race, sexuality, class and/or feminism. The theme of this year’s festival is Activism.

The focus is on the intellectual investigation of these issues, so every film is accompanied by a Q&A and discussion with the film director, producer, local activists and practitioners, and/or faculty members from the host institution for each film.

She's Beautiful When She's Angry
Directed by Mary Dore
Screening at Northeastern University
March 1, 2016 at 6pm
135 Shillman Hall
Northeastern University


She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry resurrects the buried history of the outrageous, often brilliant women who founded the modern women’s movement from 1966 to 1971. She's Beautiful takes us from the founding of NOW, with ladies in hats and gloves, to the emergence of more radical factions of women’s liberation; from intellectuals like Kate Millett to the street theatrics of W.I.T.C.H. (Women’s International Conspiracy from Hell!). Artfully combining dramatizations, performance and archival imagery, the film recounts the stories of women who fought for their own equality, and in the process created a worldwide revolution.

Film will be followed by a discussion with Our Bodies Ourselves co-founders Joan Ditzion, Judy Norsigian, and Wendy Sanford, facilitated by Northeastern WGSS program director Suzanna Walters.


Joan Ditzion is an original founder of Our Bodies Ourselves and co-author of all nine editions of Our Bodies, Ourselves as well as Ourselves and Our Children (1978), and Our Bodies, Ourselves: Menopause (2006). She has served as OBOS’s Board of Directors as a founder-member and is now an ex-officio board member and liaison to the Our Bodies Ourselves Founders Group. Joan has been a geriatric social worker since 1985. Her focus has gradually transitioned to issues of aging and older women and families. Joan was awarded the Alumni Special Recognition Award by the Simmons School of Social Work Alumni Association in 2012 and the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers in 2013.

Judy Norsigian is a co-founder of Our Bodies Ourselves who also served as executive director of the organization from 2001 – 2015. In a volunteer capacity, she now continues to advise OBOS staff and to help with fundraising for OBOS projects. An internationally renowned speaker and author on a range of women’s health concerns, her areas of focus include women and health care reform, abortion and contraception, childbirth (especially the role of midwifery), genetics and reproductive technologies, and drug and device safety.  Judy has been author and editor for each of the nine editions of Our Bodies, Ourselves. Personal recognitions include an honorary doctorate from Boston University, being named one of “21 Leaders for the 21st Century” by Women’s eNews, Public Service Award from the Massachusetts Public Health Association, Radcliffe College Alumnae Association Annual Recognition Award, Boston YWCA’s Academy of Women Achievers, and the Massachusetts Health Council Award. Judy graduated from Radcliffe College in 1970.

Wendy Sanford is a founding member of Our Bodies Ourselves. She has co-authored and edited the many versions of Our Bodies, Ourselves over a period of 40 years, focusing especially on women’s sexuality, body image, and women loving women. She also edited and co-authored Ourselves and Our Children (1978) and contributed to Changing Bodies, Changing Lives: A Book for Teens and Young Adults on Sexuality and Relationships (1998). After receiving a degree in applied theology from Harvard Divinity School, she served as Protestant Campus Minister at Suffolk University in Boston from 1984 to 1992. In 2003, she earned a Master of Fine Arts in writing from Vermont College, and is at work on a memoir. An essay called “Pecans” won honorable mention for the Gulf Coast 2004 Nonfiction Prize, and an essay called “Bodies” was published in the Fall 2008 edition of Narrative Magazine, an online journal.

The Second Mother
Directed by Anna Muylaert
Screening at MIT
March 2, 2016 at 6:30pm
MIT Campus, Room 6-120
77 Massachusetts Avenue
Cambridge, MA

An excitingly fresh take on some classic themes and ideas, The Second Mother centers around Val (Regina Casé), a hard-working live-in housekeeper in modern day Sao Paulo. Val is perfectly content to take care of every one of her wealthy employers’ needs, from cooking and cleaning to being a surrogate mother to their teenage son, who she has raised since he was a toddler. But when Val’s estranged daughter Jessica (Camila Márdila) suddenly shows up the unspoken but intrinsic class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray. Jessica is smart, confident, and ambitious, and refuses to accept the upstairs/downstairs dynamic, testing relationships and loyalties and forcing everyone to reconsider what family really means.


Film to be followed by Q&A discussion with film director Anna Muylaert.

Anna Muylaert is a Brazilian screenwriter, television, and film director. Muylaert directed six short films—the most notable being A Origem dos Bebês Segundo Kiki Cavalcanti (1995) which won awards at Rio Cine e Cine Ceará—before directing her first feature film, Durval Discos (2002). It won seven awards out of fourteen nominations at Festival de Gramado, including Best Director and Best Film.

The Hunting Ground
Directed by Kirby Dick
Screening at Brandeis University
March 2nd 6:30pm
Room TBA
415 South St
Waltham, MA 02453


The statistics are staggering. One in five women in college are sexually assaulted, yet only a fraction of these crimes are reported, and even fewer result in punishment for the perpetrators.From the intrepid team behind The Invisible War comes Campus Assaults, a piercing, monumental exposé of rape culture on campuses, poised to light a fire under a national debate.

In a tour de force of verité footage, expert insights, and first-person testimonies, the film follows undergraduate rape survivors pursuing both their education and justice, despite ongoing harassment and the devastating toll on them and their families.

Scrutinizing the gamut of elite Ivies, state universities, and small colleges, filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering reveal an endemic system of institutional cover-ups, rationalizations, victim-blaming, and denial that creates perfect storm conditions for predators to prey with impunity.

Meanwhile, the film captures mavericks Andrea Pino and Annie Clark, survivors who are taking matters into their own hands—ingeniously employing Title IX legal strategy to fight back and sharing their knowledge among a growing, unstoppable network of young women who will no longer be silent.

Since the film’s premiere at Sundance, it had been screened at the White House and hundreds of college campuses across the country. The documentary has inspired new laws in New York and California and changes in campus policies.

Film will be followed by Q&A Discussion with a representative from Brandeis’s Rape Crisis Center.

They Call Me a Muslim
Directed by Diana Ferrero
Screening at Lesley University
March 8, 2016 5-6:30pm
Lesley University Library,
Brattle Campus, Sherrill 251

In popular Western imagination, a Muslim woman in a veil – or hijab – is a symbol of Islamic oppression. But what does it mean for women’s freedom when a democratic country forbids the wearing of the veil? In this provocative documentary, filmmaker Diana Ferrero portrays the struggle of two women – one in France and one in Iran – to express themselves freely.  The film highlights how women still must struggle for the right to control their own bodies -not only under theocratic regimes, but also in secular, democratic countries where increasing discrimination against Muslims and sexism intersect.

The film will be followed by a Q&A discussion, speaker TBD.

Her Story
Directed by Kate Fisher
Screening at Tufts University
March 16, 2016 at 7pm
Barnum Hall 008
Tufts University

Her Story is about two trans women in Los Angeles who have given up on love, when suddenly chance encounters give them hope. Violet is drawn to Allie, a reporter who approaches her for an interview, while career-driven Paige meets James, the first man she’s considered opening up to in years. Will they risk letting what they are stand in the way of being loved for who they are?

Trans women in the media have long been punchlines, killers, indications of urban grit, pathetic tragedies, and dangerous sirens. Rarely have they been complex characters who laugh, struggle, and grow, who share strength in sisterhood, who seek and find love. Her Story depicts the unique, complicated, and very human women we see in queer communities, and explores how these women navigate the intersections of label identity and love.

Co-written by Jen Richards and Laura Zak, directed by Sydney Freehand (Drunktown’s Finest), with cinematography by Bérénice Eveno, and produced by Katherine Fisher/Speed of Joy Productions, Her Story features predominantly LGBTQ women, on and off-screen. With this project we have the opportunity to positively shift cultural perceptions of trans and queer women. We invite you to join us in helping to make visible the lives of women who too often are made invisible.

Film will be followed by Q&A conversation with stars Angelica Ross and Laura Zak, moderated by Professor Stephan Pennington.

Angelica Ross is the Executive Director and CEO of TransTech Social Enterprises, a creative design firm and training academy that aims to empower, educate, and employ the trans community through the use of technology while promoting innovation, independence and entrepreneurship.

Laura Zak is a writer, actor, producer, and activist. She served for eight years as Campaigns’ Manager for Eve Ensler’s V-Day, a global movement to end violence against women and girls. She is the co-creator and star of Her Story.

Stephan Pennington is  Assistant Professor of Music and the 2015 faculty recipient of the Tufts University Multicultural Service Award, presented annually to faculty and staff members whose activities define “Tufts as a multicultural environment in which race, ethnicity, religion, class, gender, and sexual orientation are not barriers to the full enjoyment of community membership."

Regarding Susan Sontag
Directed by Nancy Kates
Screening at MIT
March 17, 2016 at 7pm*
Bartos Theater, List Visual Arts Center
Building E15, 20 Ames Street
Cambridge, MA

Regarding Susan Sontag is an intimate and nuanced investigation into the life of one of the most influential and provocative thinkers of the 20th century. Passionate and gracefully outspoken throughout her career, Susan Sontag became one of the most important literary, political and feminist icons of her generation. The documentary explores Sontag’s life through evocative experimental images, archival materials, accounts from friends, family, colleagues, and lovers, as well as her own words, read by actress Patricia Clarkson. From her early infatuation with books and her first experience in a gay bar; from her marriage in adolescence to her last lover, Regarding Susan Sontag is a fascinating look at a towering cultural critic and writer whose works on photography, war, illness, and terrorism still resonate today. More than any other thinker of her day, Sontag was watched, viewed, photographed and stared at. She was gazed at, and she looked back, very carefully, particularly at language and metaphor and at photography and what she called “the ecology of images.”

Film will be followed by Q&A discussion with director Nancy Kates.

Nancy Kates is an independent filmmaker based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is best known for her film Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin, a full-length documentary she made with co-producer Bennett Singer about Bayard Rustin, the gay civil rights leader.

This event is co-sponsored by the MIT Program in Art, Culture, and Technology, Cinematic Migrations, the MIT List Visual Arts Center, and the MIT Program in History, Theory, and Criticism.

Rebel
Directed by María Agui Carter
Screening at Emerson College
March 22, 2016 from 7-10pm
Bright Family Screening Room
559 Washington Street
Boston, MA 02111

Loreta Janeta Velazquez was a 19th century woman of many disguises. Havana-born and New Orleans-raised, she was a rebel from the start, a precocious Cuban tomboy who idolized Joan of Arc. One of the 1000 women who fought in the Civil War, she altered her sex, her ethnicity, and her identity in order to become a Confederate soldier (alias Lieutenant Harry Buford), to spy for the Confederacy then to become a double agent for the Union. She exposed her secret in a memoir, The Woman in Battle, which chronicles her often tragic life. Yet for the last 150 years, her story has been dismissed as a hoax. Rebel unlocks this mystery with a non-traditional approach that plays with form and style. Loreta risked being tried for treason for her masquerade and was ultimately branded a liar and erased from history. In Loreta’s search for family, nation, and identity, she instead became a fascinating illustration of the politics of memory.

The film will be followed by a Q&A discussion with producer, director and VMA professor María Agui Carter.

María Agui Carter is an award-winning filmmaker, scholar, and President of Iguana Films, a film and New Media company working in Spanish and English language productions. She is a graduate of Harvard University, and former staff producer for WGBH Boston. Ms. Agui Carter was the only woman director commissioned for Discovery En Español's Director's Showcase series with her dramatic film Cleats, and her work has premiered at film festivals including Tribeca (Chevolution, Writer) and the LA Latino film festival (Cleats, Writer/Director).

An Open Secret
Directed by Amy J. Berg
Screening at Emerson College
March 24, 2016 from 7-10pm
Bright Family Screening Room
559 Washington Street
Boston, MA 02111 United States

An Open Secret is about 5 child actors whose lives were turned upside down by multiple predators & convicted sex offenders. The film looks at the lives of these children betrayed and abandoned by a system that essentially funnels them towards sexual predators without any oversight or regard for their safety. It documents not only these young people’s experiences, but also how some have emerged stronger for their speaking out. It begs the question of why children working in entertainment aren’t afforded the same protections they are afforded at school, and argues for more effective treatment and stronger penalties for child sex offenders.


The film will be followed by a Q&A panel discussion including producer Matt Valentinas.
