FEMINISM

A vampire in full chador skateboards through the streets of an Iranian town known as Bad City. Iranian-American filmmaker, Ana Lily Amirpour, wowed Sundance critics with the offbeat charm, humour and great soundtrack of her debut feature.

Lecturer and writer Dr. Jorie Lagerwey will analyze Amirpour’s film and the ways its moody tone and stylish black and white aesthetic helps it flip the often anti-feminist stories of horror movies and westerns into a feminist tale.
