Feminist March 2023
Returning from a pandemic-related hiatus, Hollywood Theatre’s Feminist March program will once again offer up a full month of screenings celebrating women in film. Presented in partnership with Portland State University’s Center for Women’s Leadership, Synth Library Portland, and Quest Center, this year’s lineup includes 12 films directed by women, including multiple flicks by Black, Indigenous, and queer directors. (Standouts include Cheryl Dunye’s The Watermelon Woman, Jamie Babbit’s But I’m a Cheerleader, and Nyla Innuksuk’s Slash/Back.)
