About this Event

The Woman's FilmDir. Jennifer Gauthier, 1971, 40 min.

Inside Women InsideDir. Christine Choy and Cynthia Maurizio, 1978, 21 min.

As a mode of action and as a way of thinking, feminism constantly interrogates truth. Whose actions, language, and experience constitute truth? How would/could a feminist truth be gathered, recorded, presented, and claimed? These questions erupt in two classic feminist documentaries produced at bookends of the 1970s: The Woman’s Film (1971) and Inside Women Inside (1978). Screened together, we hope these films will facilitate a conversation about the relationship between feminism, activism, documentary practice, and truth.

Followed by a conversation with Shilyh Warren, Associate Professor of Visual and Performing Arts & Film Studies, University of Texas, and Asher Guthertz, Ph.D Student, Cinema & Media Studies, University of Pennsylvania

Presented by Penn's Cinema & Media Studies Department and Wolf Humanities Center.
