Coming Up Short: Women & Sexuality
Sunday, February 12, 2006
6:30 PM
Pioneer Theater (155 East 3rd Street New York, NY 10009)
Hot and Bothered: Feminist Pornography (Becky Goldberg)
Hot and Bothered: Feminist Pornography takes a rare and empowering look
into the pornography industry and feminist community to see how they
intertwine within the politics and poetics of female sexuality. It shows
women who are committed to making and supporting pornography that includes
their feminist values and will go up against an entire industry,
stereotypes, and sexism to get what they want. Who better to claim the
adult industry for themselves than the women it depends on?
In Her Image: Producing Womanhood in America (Julia Barry)
We are constantly bombarded with images and messages representing and
shaping the lives of women. What are their roots and meanings? How do they
effect society's view of women? How do they influence women's lives? In
Her Image poses these questions to American audiences through a
multi-media format consisting of images accompanied by original songs.
These images span a typical woman's lifespan and reveal the ways in which
various marketplaces are interwoven to create a set of expectations and
social requirements that tell women who to be and how to act, think, and
feel.
Filmmakers will be available for Q&A after the films.
Tickets are $9 ($6.50 students/seniors) and can be purchased at
http://www.altarmagazine.com. Goody bags filled with items from our
sponsors will be distributed to all who attend.
