Sexism | Cinema Film Series Announces Fall Lineup
The films will be screened at the Alamo Drafthouse in Lubbock.

Texas Tech University’s Women’s Studies Program will begin its fall Sexism | Cinema film series Wednesday (Sept. 7) to discuss how sexism is embedded, endorsed and/or challenged in the cinema.

The films feature female protagonists and will begin with a brief introduction before the screenings, followed by a 30-minute discussion led by Texas Tech faculty members and expert guest speakers.

The films selected for this series include:
• “Clueless” – 7 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 7)
• “Chi-Raq” – 7 p.m. Oct. 5
• “Monsoon Wedding” – 7 p.m. Nov. 2
• “We Need to Talk About Kevin” – 7 p.m. Dec. 7

All members of the Texas Tech and Lubbock communities are invited to attend, and admission is $3 for each film.

This series is sponsored by the Alamo Drafthouse, the Women’s Studies Program, Texas Tech’s Risk Intervention and Safety Education department and the Texas Tech Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center.
