Critics Workshop
It will look at questions such as: should the role of a feminist publication be wholly celebratory? How useful are terms such as “intersectional” and the “female gaze”? What duties do we have to others in critical writing? How should we write about works by “neglected” women filmmakers, who are older or no longer alive?
Another Gaze is a feminist film journal, founded in January 2016 to provide nuanced criticism about women and queers as filmmakers, protagonists and spectators.
Hosted by Daniella Shreir (co-editor and founder of Another Gaze). With presentations by Simran Hans, Emily LaBarge, Rebecca Liu, Alice Spawls & Missouri Williams.
