Talking Back to the Screen: Feminism & Film Criticism

6:30 pm – 8:30 pm


Crosstown Arts
430 N Cleveland
Memphis, TN 38104 United States

Monthly filmmaking forum presented by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts

In Alice Bolin’s upcoming book, Dead Girls, she writes about moving to L.A. and seeing the city through a white male literary lens, and needing to trust her own eyes rather than what she’s read. Miriam Bale’s path through the male-dominated world of film criticism at New York newspapers was similarly one of learning to trust her own eyes. The two writers will have a dialogue about different ways to engage with writing about film, a misogynistic industry, as women. Dead Girls (which covers Twin Peaks to True Detective) is an essay collection out in June 2018 from William Morrow/ HarperCollins. Alice Bolin teaches nonfiction at the University of Memphis.

Miriam Bale is new Senior Programmer of the Indie Memphis Film Festival.

Doors open at 6:30pm | panel discussion begins at 7pm
