The Bechdel Test Film Fest
June 23, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
South House, in partnership with the Art Bar (a rad space that is co-run by the The Khyber and Anna Leonowens Gallery), will be showing a series of films over the summer with one simple goal in mind: to see if they pass the Bechdel Film Test. Haven’t heard of this iconic test by Allison Bechdel?
The Bechdel Test rules:
1. Are there are least two women?
2. Do they talk to each other?
3. About something other than a man?
This iconic feminist fim test is very simple, yet painfully few films pass it. These screenings will be free, and followed by discussion about feminist film, representation of women, trans folks, non-binary & gender-nonconformist folx, and femmes of all genders in both mainstream and independent media, and pop culture in general!
When: first screening will happen on June 23rd at 6pm
Where: the NSCAD Art Bar
~~list of film titles TBA~~~
Access info:
The bar is wheelchair accessible through the two front door entrances. The closest wheelchair-accessible washrooms are in the Granville Mall through the Hollis St entrance.
