SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Writing with Fire | Women Take the Reel Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nFilm Screening: Writing with Fire | MIT Women Take the Reel Film Festival\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nJoin us in screening the documentary Writing with Fire as part of the annual Women Take the Reel Film Festival. This film follows the women journalists of India’s all-female newspaper as they risk it all, including their own safety, to cover the country’s political, social, and local news from a women-powered perspective. From underground network to an independent media empire they defy the odds to redefine power.\nAfter the screening, Professor Sulafa Zidani and Dolly Arjun will host a discussion with the audience. Professor Zidani has published on online culture mixing, Arab and Chinese media politics, and critical transnational pedagogy in venues such as: Social Media + Society; Asian Communication Research; Media, Culture & Society; International Journal of Communication, and others. Dolly Arjun is a Dalit-American feminist who works in medicine and lives in the Boston area.\nThe screening will take place on March 15th, 2022 at 6:30 PM in the MIT Bartos Theater (E15-070). This event is free and open to the public. Masks and vaccinations are required for all event attendees and presenters.\nAny visitor who does not have an MIT Kerberos account may use a Tim Ticket QR code to check in to an event that has been registered in MIT’s Tim Tickets system. We will send you the link to Tim Ticket via the email you provide.\nThis annual film festival is a collaborative effort among Women’s and Gender Studies departments involved in the Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality (as well as select institutions/universities aligned with its mission) that feature films directed by women and about issues relating to gender, race, sexuality, class and/or feminism.\nThe focus is on intellectual investigation of these issues as well as visibility for woman-identifying directors, and so every film is accompanied by a Q&A and discussion with either the film director, producer, relevant organization, or a faculty member from the film screening’s host institution.\nWOMEN TAKE THE REEL is a FREE roaming film festival SPONSORED BY: MIT Program in Women’s and Gender Studies; the Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality; Boston College Women’s and Gender Studies Program;  Northeastern University Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program; and Lesley University.\n\n\n\n\n
