SUMMARY:A Place of Rage: Women and Anger on Screen
DESCRIPTION:Post-#MeToo\, films and television — many by women — have redefined female anger not as pathology or threat but as\, in Lorde’s words\, “loaded with information and energy.” This series\, inspired by the work of scholar and UCLA School of Theater\, Film and Television Professor Kathleen McHugh\, explores how women’s rage\, long silenced\, can be reclaimed through feminist filmmaking\, challenging familiar tropes and reframing women’s anger as purposeful. \nThe series \, A Place of Rage\, examines anger as a site of clarity\, resistance and transformation and considers how genres once hostile to female subjectivity have become platforms for feminist disruption. This collection serves as a visual conjuring of the uses of anger: when wielded with precision\, on women’s own terms\, our rage can move beyond catharsis to radical change. \nSeries programmed and notes written by UCLA Professor Kathleen McHugh and Public Programmer Beandrea July \nCommunity partners: UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Barbra Streisand Center\, Women in Media \n

SUMMARY:"Wanda": Free Screening by UCLA Film & Television Archive
DESCRIPTION:Date: Sunday\, November 2nd \nTime: 7pm \nLocation: Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum \nUCLA Film & Television Archive is hosting a free screening of Wanda along with a Q&A and book signing with Elena Gorfinkel\, author of “BFI Classics: Wanda\,” moderated by Archive Research and Study Center Officer Maya Montañez Smukler. \nIn 1970\, Wanda screened at the Venice Film Festival as the sole U.S. entry winning the International Critics Prize. Actor-turned-filmmaker\, Barbara Loden\, directed\, produced and co-starred in the production of Wanda\, also being her directorial debut. The film follows Loden in a quiet and captivating portrayal of an apathetic young woman on a journey through a bleak and rural Pennsylvanian landscape. On her filmmaking approach\, Loden said\, “I’ve got more movies in me\, but they will have to be done my way. I’m not interested in entertaining people. I only want to do things that mean something to me\, that I can say about a human being on film and then communicate that feeling to others.” \nIn her new book\, Elena Gorfinkel draws on archival sources to trace the film’s feminist legacies\, and its lasting influence on contemporary filmmakers\, artists and writers.—Archive Research and Study Center Officer Maya Montañez Smukler \nCosponsored by: Center for the Study of Women

SUMMARY:Noura Erakat on Revisiting Zionism as a Form of Racism and Racial Discrimination
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, November 13 at 5:30 pm\nWhere: On the UCLA campus\nRSVP for the address.\nOn November 10\, 1975\, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 3379 declaring Zionism as a Form of Racism and Racial Discrimination. A coalition of states introduced the resolution at the start of the 30th session of the General Assembly as an amendment to the Decade Against Racism in the context of Third World Revolt against imperialism; Palestinian liberation was central to this agenda. This lecture will explore the historical context that led to the introduction of this resolution\, its drafting history\, including racial theories of Zionism that were introduced during the deliberations as well as the intense procedural maneuvers that aimed to subvert it all together. Though a hard won victory\, the PLO rescinded the resolution in 1991 as a precondition for entering the Oslo Accords. This discussion will both mark the 50th year anniversary of the resolution as well as its contemporary relevance. \nProfessor Erakat’s talk will be followed by a panel discussion with Professor Nour Joudah (Asian American Studies) and Professor Robin D.G. Kelley (History). \nBio:\nNoura Erakat is Professor of Africana Studies and Criminal Justice at Rutgers University\, New Brunswick. She is the author of Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine (Stanford University Press\, 2019)\, which received the Palestine Book Award and the Bronze Medal for the Independent Publishers Book Award in Current Events/Foreign Affairs. In 2023\, Noura co-chaired an Independent Task Force on the Application of National Security Memorandum-20 to Israel\, a report documenting how U.S. arms to Israel have been used in violation of U.S. and international law and which was submitted to the White House. She is co-founding editor of Jadaliyya and an editorial board member of the Journal of Palestine Studies as well as Human Geography. She is a co-founding board member of the DC Palestinian Film and Arts Festival. She has served as Legal Counsel for a Congressional Subcommittee in the US House of Representatives\, as Legal Advocate for the Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Refugee and Residency Rights\, and as National Organizer and Legal Advocate of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. Noura has also produced video documentaries\, including “Gaza In Context” and “Black Palestinian Solidarity.” Noura completed a non-resident fellowship of the Religious Literacy Project at Harvard Divinity School as well as a Mahmoud Darwish Visiting Professorship at Brown University. In 2022\, she was selected as a Freedom Fellow by the Marguerite Casey Foundation. In 2025\, the University of Ghent awarded the Amnesty International Chair in recognition of her contribution to human rights and scholarship.

SUMMARY:Women's Daily Life in Exile Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Where: UCLA Bunche Hall\, Rm 10383 \nWhen: Monday\, November 17\, 2025 / 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM (Pacific Time) \nAfter being deported from their homes\, Armenian women experienced vastly different fates depending on where they were sent within the Arab-speaking provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Those on the eastern deportation route faced famine and disease but largely avoided mass killings\, while those sent north were confined in desert tent camps and many were massacred in 1916. This lecture\, led by Dr. Anna Aleksanyan and Dr. Taner Akçam of UCLA’s Promise Armenian Institute\, will explore the varied experiences of these women and the gendered dimensions of the Armenian Genocide. This event is organized by The Promise Armenian Institute at UCLA. \nJoin the Zoom Webinar here.
