I WAS A TEENAGE FEMINIST

A film by Therese Shechter, Canada/US, 2005, 62 minutes, color

PRESENTED BY Mid-Suffolk NOW (National Organization of Women) Kim Schultze of Coldwell Banker, and Long Island Gay & Lesbian Film Festival

SATURDAY, JUNE 23 AT 11:30AM               

Why is it that young, independent, progressive women feel uncomfortable identifying with the F-word? Filmmaker Therese Shechter takes a funny, moving and very personal journey into the heart of feminism. Armed with a video camera and an irreverent sense of humor, Shechter talks with feminist superstars, rowdy frat boys, liberated Cosmo girls and Radical Cheerleaders, all in her quest to find out whether feminism can still be a source of personal and political power. With home

movies clips of Shechter as a budding

feminist, archival materials from old health classes, and music by Ani DiFranco, Lavababy, Gina Young, Moxie Starpark, and the legendary Helen Reddy, I Was a Teenage Feminist redefines the F-Word for a new generation.

Guest Speaker: Filmmaker/Writer Therese Shechter will be in attendance!
