Dubbed the "The first Iranian vampire Western" and hit of the Sundance Film Festival. The film follows Arash, a young man who soon meets the acquaintance of "The Girl", a mysterious presence in "Bad City". The film has been called "A joyful mash-up of genre, archetype, and iconography, its prolific influences span spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave". Dr. Allison Whitney of the TTU English department and director of the Film and Media Studies program will lead the discussion following the film.
Admission is $3 for everyone and can be purchased at the Alamo or online at: https://drafthouse.com/lubbock/show/continuing-education-a-girl-walks-home-alone-at-night
Fifty years ago, the term “sexism” was coined. In light of this historical marker, Alamo Drafthouse and TTU invite you to a film series which considers how sexism is embedded, endorsed, and/or challenged in the cinema. How far have we come? How far do we have to go? We have selected films with female protagonists to view and discuss at Alamo Drafthouse, Lubbock. Movies will begin at 6:00pm with a brief introduction. The films will be followed by a 30 minute discussion led by TTU faculty members and expert guest speakers. Mark your calendars now!
