SUMMARY:WGSS Film Screening: Shouting Down Midnight
DESCRIPTION:\nWhat happens when a woman's voice is finally heard in the 
	Texas statehouse? Shouting Down Midnight is a film about civic engagemen
	t and the fight for reproductive freedom. In 2013\, Texas State Senator 
	Wendy Davis stood for thirteen hours while she filibustered an anti-abor
	tion bill which would dramatically restrict Texas women's access not jus
	t to abortion\, but to needed health care services. Our characters are w
	omen whose letters Davis read during the filibuster\, Davis herself\, an
	d one young activist who chose her fate that day. Since then\, we've fol
	lowed these women to understand how that day changed their lives\, and w
	hy the fight for reproductive freedom is more important than ever.\n\nGr
	etchen Stoeltje went into a movie theater\, fell in love\, and never loo
	ked back. She chased the dream of making films that centered women’s exp
	eriences and produced three independent documentaries before rethinking 
	the math and the relevance of independent feminist filmmaking. After a q
	uick break to earn a juris doctorate and land a secure state job\, Stoel
	tje noticed that her home state was rolling back the human rights of peo
	ple with uteruses and got back up on the filmmaking horse to make a four
	th. Curious\, empathic and wry\, these films tell the stories of being f
	emale\, from West Texas rattlesnake queen to post-cold war\, mail order 
	bride to turn-of-the-century “every teen” and to pro-choice state legisl
	ator. All strive to recast women in their own images and provide authent
	ic dialogue about what it means to grow up female and become the heroine
	 of one’s own story. Does this make them feminist films? Do we need femi
	nist films? Or do we need something more?\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n*Join us on Wedn
	esday\, October 9 from 3:30–5:00 p.m. in 335 Willard Building for Gretch
	en's post screening discussion titled\, “35 Years of ‘F’ Word Filmmaking
