Rage/Resist2018 (animated GIF and curated film screening)
Rage/Resist is a film screening exploring gendered oppression, bearing witness, survivorship, and modes of resistance to benefit Bay Area Women Against Rape (BAWAR), where call volume and requested services rose dramatically alongside the Kavanaugh hearings and confirmation. I co-curated this screening with Diana Ruíz in partnership with Canyon Cinema, San Francisco Cinematheque and GAZE, a film series based out of Artists’ Television Access in San Francisco that prioritizes work by women, trans, genderqueer, and non-binary artists. A social fundraiser, the goal of Rage/Resist was to create a space to process the Kavanaugh hearings and confirmation through moving image, explore how women-identified and gender-nonconforming filmmakers shape the visual and cultural landscape around gendered violence, outrage, and resistance, as well as rally and strategize next steps for collective action. |
