In honor of Women’s History Month, the Hollywood Theatre will spend this March in celebration of the women who have shaped the film industry, both in front of and behind the camera.
The Hollywood’s Anthony Hudson and Alison Hallett invited community partners - the likes of PDX Latinx Pride, PICA, Brown Girl Rise, NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon, Wildfang, and more - to share films that influence and inspire them. The films in the resulting lineup, which spans genres, eras, and sensibilities, have only one thing in common: They tell women’s stories.
The goal of Feminist March is to celebrate the contributions that women have made, and continue to make, to the film industry, while acknowledging the ongoing need for intersectional advocacy on behalf of marginalized voices, specifically trans and nonbinary filmmakers and filmmakers of color.
Original poster art for Feminist March was created by Heidi Elise Wirz of Portland-based Shebeast Press. Screenprinted posters will be available at Movie Madness and the Hollywood for $15.
