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
