About Gravitational Lensing:
Gravitational Lensing: Feminist Film Dialogues is an ongoing film series curated by Kathleen Quillian & Amy Reid and presented by Shapeshifters Cinema dedicated to exploring the visions, voices, concerns and lineage of women, non-binary, genderqueer and transgender filmmakers through public film screenings, workshops, conversations and presentations.
Inspired by and named after the scientific phenomenon in which the gravitational pull of celestial bodies clustered together causes a curvature of spacetime strong enough to magnify distant objects, Gravitational Lensing aims to highlight and amplify the work of women, non-binary, genderqueer and transgender filmmakers by the sheer magnitude of their collective creative energy when gathered together in common dialogue.
The series will be presented over the course of 12-18 months with each program organized around a specific theme, pairing films selected from our open call with other filmmakers whose work engages with similar subjects, ideas or techniques. Films in the series will touch on everything from the intersections of gender and mythology to colonial histories and everything in between.
