ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
NO EVIL EYE CINEMA leads an engaging workshop where participants interact with fellow cinephiles and conceive of ways to critique and orient ourselves around the 7 tropes of female monstrosity in horror film history. We will dive deeper into Barbara Creed’s book The Monstrous-Feminine: Film, Feminism, Psychoanalysis by exploring the range of patriarchal obstacles that alter the perceived humanity of three Black female characters in Blaxpoitation films.
We will contextualize these films and place them in history as a way to dissect the ways we consume monstrosity in the horror genre. After all, we must critique the things we consume as a way to dream for layered representations of our human experiences in cinema. This workshop includes a presentation, short film screening, workshop participant activity, group discussion, and share-out.
