Quick Hit: Films for the Feminist Classroom
Check out this great new resource for gender studies professors and feminist facilitators, an online journal called Films for the Feminist Classroom. It's being edited and produced by the Rutgers-based editorial offices of Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society--a long standing resource for folks interested in intersectional feminism and gender analysis. About Films for the Feminist Classroom:
FFC publishes film reviews that provide a critical assessment of the value of films as pedagogical tools in the feminist classroom. Interviews with directors and producers of feminist film are also included in FFC issues. FFC endeavors to become a dynamic resource for feminist teachers.
There are a lot of great films reviewed in the first issue, including To See if I'm Smiling, Leila Khaled: Hijacker, My Daughter the Terrorist, Quinceañera, No! The Rape Documentary, Child Brides: Stolen Lives, The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo, among many, many others.

I love this! I love feminist movie reviews. These aren't the most reader friendly unless you've got a high college degree. But even for myself, a high school student, they're not indecipherable or anything. I like em a lot. Thank you =)
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! Thanks so much for this. Love showing film in my classes.
I loved Quinceañera.
