Cinema of Resistance

September 1–28 | Eight-Film Series

 

Explicitly or implicitly, cinema has regularly been a canvas for stories of rebellion. Filmmakers use the screen to fight back against oppression, to share stories of revolution, and to simply—with vivid pictures and sound—say: no more. In Cinema of Resistance, we present eight films that expose the lowest moments of humanity, both real and imagined: war, corruption, cowardice, authoritarianism, and then raise high displays of bravery from movements that changed the course of history and individuals that put themselves on the line for the greater good. Join the fight from your cinema seat.
