Join Anna Stenport, dean of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences and professor of communication studies with an appointment in the Institute for Women's and Gender Studies, for a screening and conversation about one of the most influential feminist films of the late 1960s and 1970s, Swedish director Mai Zetterling’s The Girls (Flickorna, 1968). A masterpiece of modernist art cinema, The Girls is a visually stunning, narratively complex, comedically paced, and compellingly acted film that questions gender roles and blurs boundaries between film, fiction, and life.
The program features a brief introduction to the film by Dr. Stenport, the screening (100 min; film is sub-titled in English), and conversation. The event, part of the 2025 UGA Humanities Festival, is free and open to the public; students and the university community are warmly welcomed.
