Please join us for our third screening....

Feminist Recycling Group presents….
This is the Feminist Archive: Canadian Film & Video 1970s-1990s
The four events in the series, screenings accompanied by conversations with the artists, recontextualize feminist film and video work as constitutive of archival futures; a future imperfect: what will be seen to have been. Too often, feminism is narrated and historicized as wholly outdated/transphobic/racist, invisibilizing BIPOC feminists who were leaders in the Canadian feminist movement and its art practice. Feminists themselves may attempt to disavow previous iterations of the movement. And yet, many examples of early feminist video engage, or invent avant-garde strategies, while also engaging in intersectional interrogations. The delimiting of the history of feminisms implicitly excludes much of the intersectional cultural work that was central to feminist projects. This is especially pertinent as American hegemony – the undoing of abortion rights, the war on trans bodies – continues to inform local and national contexts in Canada. The films and videos in the programs come from the last three decades of the 20th century when feminist political organizing was inextricable with women’s cultural production.

"Club Classics" will be November 19, 7-9PM, at Innis 222E (2 Sussex Avenue, 2nd floor deluxe screening room - accessible by elevator). Throbbing. Pulsing. Sweating. Clubs and bars have been central spaces for queer and trans people to find and build community. But rapid gentrification and the increasing cost of living are closing what few queer nightlife spaces remain. These videos document Toronto's lost queer nightlife. The screening will be followed by a conversation and Q&A between curator, Jon Petrychyn, and artist scholars, Judith Doyle and Lilian Rodavac.
