We Are the Radical Monarchs {Ideal for Families}

This film introduces the Radical Monarchs, an alternative to the Scout movement for girls of color, and its founders, two fierce queer women of color, who have inspired a new generation of social justice activists.

Welcome Back {World Premiere}

Woman In Motion

In 1977, with just four months left, NASA struggles to recruit scientists, engineers and astronauts for their new Space Shuttle Program. That is when Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek’s Lt. Uhura, challenges them by asking the question: Where are my people?.

Women And Horror – Women as Heroes and Villains

This panel will focus on depictions of women as both heroes and villains in horror films and beyond and what this tells us about the current zeitgeist.

Women In Space
