Sexism | Cinema: 50 Years on the Silver Screen
In 1965, a half century ago, the term "sexism" was coined. In light of this historical marker, Alamo Drafthouse and Texas Tech University have partnered to create a film series which considers how sexism is embedded, endorsed, and/or challenged in the cinema. How far have we come? How far do we have to go? Selected films feature female protagonists. The films are followed by a 30-minute discussion led by and expert guest speakers or Texas Tech faculty. We encourage all members of the TTU and Lubbock community to attend.
