GirlsFilmSchool 2003 presents its Summer Screening Series:

June 15, 7:30 pm - Stranger Inside by Cheryl Dunye
"Cheryl Dunye's deft, intelligent movie follows an inmate, Treasure Lee (Yolanda Ross in her feature film debut), as she searchs for Brownie, the convict mother she hasn't seen since birth...Ross is an amazing camera subject. She has the hard-paked look of a track sprinter who never wins. [Davenia] McFadden gives a ferocious performance [as Brownie]...STRANGER INSIDE is a film with impact." The Hollywood Reporter.
The SCREEN, $10.00.

June 17, 7:00 pm - "Betty Boop is a Dog / Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut"
In this highly illustrated presentation, video artists Teresa Foley will introduce basic concepts of visual literacy and elicit audience responses regarding the characterization and manifestation of women in animated media.

June 21, 7:30 pm - Eve's Bayou by director Kasi Lemmons - Filmmaker Present!
"A father's philandering nature is only one of several problems for a black southern family, but, to 9 year-old Eve, it is the most immediate. As her suspicions deepen, so does her desire to bring the infidelity to an end, even if it means calling down justice on its perpetrator. A stylish, southern Gothic tale of family discord and coming of age by first-time writer/director Lemmons." - Rottentomatoes.com
