Triple Feature w/ Guest Curator Jazmyne Imani
Join Lavender Lens and guest curator Jazmyne Imani! for an evening of sapphic films from black directors. The lineup will include:
"Sisters in The Struggle" by Dionne Brand & Ginny Stikeman
"A Place of Rage" by Pratibha Parmar
"Janine" by Cheryl Dunye
Jazmyne Terrell is a curator and cultural worker who engages film as one among many expressive mediums — a tool for feeling, remembering, resisting, and imagining. Her practice is rooted in a feminist ethic shaped by Blackness, where self-love and self-respect are not optional, but vital acts of survival and transformation. Holding June Jordan’s 1978 question “Where is the love?” at the heart of their work, they curate not only films, but moments of connection, confrontation, and possibility. Their vision is grounded in a belief in liberation for all. A liberation that is collective, imperfect, embodied, and ongoing.
I Saw The TV Glow Screening
Directed by Jane Schoenbrun, I Saw the TV Glow is a 2024 surreal horror film about two teenagers in the 1990s who become obsessed with a supernatural TV show called The Pink Opaque. The film explores themes of identity, with the TV show acting as a distorted mirror for their own repressed feelings and anxieties, particularly those related to the transgender experience and gender identity. The story follows their journeys of self-discovery, friendship, and the struggle to reconcile their true selves with societal expectations.
