Based on the Jane Austen novel "Emma", "Clueless" follows heroine Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone). Joined by friends Di (Stacey Dash) and Murray (Donald Faison) as well as her stepbrother Josh (Paul Rudd), Cher helps new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) navigate the world of their upscale Beverly Hills high school and budding romances. Cher quickly begins to question though who is truly clueless.

Fifty plus 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 7:00pm 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!
