This Charla de Merienda ponders questions such as: how does the Latin American film industry engage with recent critical debates on feminist cultural production? How and when does “misogynoir" and “transmisogynoir” enter the conversation--or does this absence highlight the lack of – and desperate need for – diverse voices within popular feminist discourse? In what ways has the film industry in Latin American / The Caribbean influenced feminist discourse? How is film in the region currently addressing, or advocating for, changing social norms? Join us for a riveting conversation in which we share facts, discuss opinions, and build common ground on matters concerning all of us

Panelists:

Simone Cavacante Da Silva, Spanish and Portuguese Courtney Sánchez, Film and Media Studies And (possibly) Cécile Accilien, African and African American Studies and the Haitian Institute
