Gravitational Lensing: Feminist Film Dialogues is a film series dedicated to exploring the visions, voices, concerns and lineage of women, non-binary, genderqueer and trans filmmakers through public film screenings, workshops, conversations and presentations.
Using both poetic and critical lenses, the films in this program examine the different ways we use symbolism, ritual and mythology as tools for engaging with the unknown in the attempt to understand the mysteries that surround us.
