A group of Southern California high school students are enjoying their most important subjects: sex, drugs and rock n' roll. Starring Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh. A classic 80s teen movie! The film is the second in the film series Sexism|Cinema: 50 Years on the Silver Screen.
Admission is FREE with a TTU ID including students, faculty, and staff. Community members pay regular admission price.
Fifty years ago, the term “sexism” was coined. In light of this historical marker, Alamo Drafthouse and TTU invite you to this film series which seeks to consider the ways in which sexism is embedded, endorsed, and/or challenged in the cinema. How far have we come? How far do we need to go? Looking back at the past five decades, we have selected films that feature women as central protagonists in order to review changing attitudes toward sex/gender. Together, these films offer an intriguing site for the analysis of diverse representations of race/ethnicity, femininities, and sexualities.
2/11: Foxy Brown
3/11: Fast Times at Ridgemont High
3/25: Fargo
4/23: Girlfight
4/29: Blue is the Warmest Color
All movies will begin at 7:00pm with a brief introduction. The films will be followed by 20-30 minutes in the theater for a focused discussion led by a TTU faculty member or expert guest speaker. We encourage all members of the TTU community to attend but ask that no extra credit/community service be offered.
Sponsored by Alamo Drafthouse, International Film Series, TTU Women's Studies, and the Institutional Diversity Equity, and Community Engagement.
Thank you, organizers Dr. Corby Kelly, Dr. Don Lavigne, Dr. Elizabeth Sharp, Dr. Dana Weiser
