Feminist Video Collectives from 1970s France Screen at The Kitchen

On July 17 and 18, 2012, The Kitchen in New York will feature screenings of feminist videos created by French militant groups from the 1970s. This event, put together by Alaina Claire Feldman and Stéphanie Jeanjean, marks the English-language debut of works from collectives like Les Insoumuses, Vidéa, and Video Out. These groups used portable video technology to advocate for feminism and political engagement. The program will showcase subtitled videos followed by discussions with notable guests, including K8 Hardy, Kate Millet, Georgia Sagri, and Martha Wilson. Jeanjean and Feldman aim to integrate these pieces into Western media studies and connect the event to Jeanjean's article on this topic. The venue is located at 512 West 19th Street, New York, NY 10011.
