Cinema in Conversation – Wonder Woman

March 3, 2021 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

| Free

Maine Film Center has an upcoming Cinema in Conversation event that might be of interest to the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies department. We’d love if you could forward this to your colleagues and/or students. We started this series as a way to connect with our audience during the cinema’s closure due to COVID-19, through lively discussions with filmmakers and scholars from around the world.

Next Wednesday we’re hosting a virtual event with Prof. Kathleen Rowe-Karlyn (University of Oregon) about Patty Jenkins’ WONDER WOMAN on March 3 at 7:30pm. Here’s a description of the Kathleen’s lecture:

Female audiences worldwide were moved to tears by WONDER WOMAN (2017), which broke records of all kinds and provided a moment of solidarity and optimism for women in a time of political turmoil and despair. Using examples from on screen and off, Kathleen Rowe Karlyn will use her work on female unruliness to explore the intense and often ambivalent responses elicited by women who, in seeking power, threaten existing structures of gender.

We can verify attendance on Zoom if you’d like to offer this for extra credit to your students. You can learn more about the event and register here. Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Julia Dunlavey
