Are you scared about the
future? Are you disillusioned? Do you get nauseous when you watch the news? Did
you answer YES to all the questions? Now comes the most important question of
all: are you ready and willing to fight back and resist? If once again you
answered YES, you'll be welcome to Cine Suffragette.
Since he-who-must-not-be-named
was elected president of the US, I started feeling once again the burden that
being a woman is. Not only a woman. Nowadays, being anything but a
white-male-cisgender-straight-christian is dangerous and wrong. And it
shouldn’t be.
That's why me and my
fabulous internet friends decided to do what we know best: watch movies. And
then analyze the movies and bring up valuable discussions about being a female,
working in the movie businnes as a woman, and the representation of LGBT individuals,
black, disabled and older people at the movies.
And that's why we created
Cine Suffragette: an online, multilingual publication about empowerment and
representativeness in film. We publish texts in English, Brazilian Portuguese,
Spanish and French on the Medium platform. We also have an Instagram, Twitter,
Facebook fanpage and YouTube channel.
You, members of
#TheResistance, are more than welcome to read our texts and even contribute
with us! Our first guest post was published this month and we will published
versions in all languages. If you want to contribute, get in touch with us!
I must leave a big THANK
YOU here to my partners in crime in this project: Rafaella from the blog
Império Retrô and Jessica from the website Cine Espresso. <3 o:p="">
