¡Te invitamos al cine! Únete al Fondo de Mujeres Indocumentadas y a la Fundación Rosa Luxemburgo este sábado 22 de agosto para presenciar la última entrega de nuestro Ciclo de Cine Feminista de Verano. ☀️🎬

El grán final de la serie será Stateless, un documental de Michele Stephenson que retrata la vida de las familias afectadas por la ley del 2013, con la que la Suprema Corte Dominicana quitó la nacionalidad a sus ciudadanos de ascendencia haitiana. Narrada a través de la campaña electoral en territorio de la joven abogada Rosa Iris, ofrece una ventana a la complejidad histórica de la política de ambos países.

🚪 Apertura de puertas: 7:30 PM

🎥 Proyección: 8:30 PM

¡Al finalizar la proyección, quédate para participar en la discusión! Hablaremos de cómo la película nos muestra lo que hay en juego en la batalla por la ciudadanía; cómo volver a la gente “apátrida” funciona como un herramienta de gobierno migratorio; y de qué modo la vida de quien migra es siempre “translocal”. ¡Tendremos una invitada sorpresa!
Donación sugerida $10, pero no rechazamos a nadie por no donar.

7/24 Feminist Film Series @Haven Plaza: Norita

2026 Summer Feminist Film Series ☀️🎬

In its 6th year, the Feminist Film Series has become an uptown staple. Bringing together community members to celebrate resilience, friendship, solidarity and hybridness of our communities.
Our long awaited Summer Feminist Film Series is back! ☀️🎬 And what better wait to kick it off than with Norita (2023) Dir. Jayson McNamara & Andrea Carbonatto, a story that shows how women and caregivers have always been at the fore front of organizing political power in their communities.

As the criminalization of immigrant communities intensifies and our already precarious access to basic social services is curtailed, we have curated a list of films that highlight the intersecting character of our struggles–whether those over labor rights, access to social services, and against surveillance, detention and deportation.

Our Film Series also celebrates the resilience, friendship, solidarity and hybridness of our communities and, in particular, of women and gender expansive people.

Join us for our first screening: Norita (2023) Dir Jayson McNamara & Andrea Carbonatto.

📆 July 24th, doors open at 7, film starts at 8

📍 Haven Plaza, 711W 168th St NYC 10032

🗣️ Spanish with English Subtitles

⏳ 1h 28m

Description:

During Argentina’s brutal Videla dictatorship, thousands vanished. When Nora Cortinas’ son was taken, she led protests at Plaza de Mayo that helped end the regime. Today, despite family costs, she continues fighting for justice.

Translocal Feminist Film Series: Immigrant Women: resisting and re-existing

Undocumented Women’s Fund invites you to our annual outdoor Translocal Feminist Film Series, “Immigrant Women: resisting and re-existing” (

As the criminalization of immigrant communities intensifies and our already precarious access to basic social services is curtailed, we have curated a list of films that highlight the intersecting character of our struggles–whether over labor rights, access to social services, and/or against surveillance, detention and deportation. In its fifth year, our Film Series also celebrates the resilience, sisterhood, solidarity and life-sustaining labor performed by immigrant women and gender expansive people.

Join us throughout August for three bilingual (English/Spanish) screenings:

🪶 Saturday 8/30, Hummingbirds (2024) dir Estefanía “Beba” Contreras and Silvia Del Carmen Castaños

English with Spanish subtitles

In Hummingbirds, Silvia and Beba tell their own coming-of-age story, transforming their hometown on the Texas-Mexico border into a wonderland of creative expression and activist hijinks. Filmed collaboratively over the final summer of their fleeting youth, their cinematic self-portrait celebrates the power of friendship and joy as tools of survival and resistance.

 

🚨 All screenings will be at Haven plaza (711W 168th St NYC 10032 across from Barnes and Noble).

 

⏱️Doors open at 6:30 and film will begin at 7:30, followed by an open discussion lead by fellow organizers and filmmakers.

Feminist Film Series: The Dispute Over Latin America – Se Fue a Volver (Mexico 2023)

Join us for the second screening of our 2024 Feminist Film Series: The Dispute for Latin America, which focus on the judicial war in Ecuador.

We’ll be screening a teaser to Influjo Psíquico by @alecardona_films and the documentar Se Fue a Volver by @enriquezborges, two films which chronicle the political persecution against the leadership of the Citizen Revolution following the departure of the government of former Ecuadorian president, Rafael Correa.

In the last two decades and after the end of the so-called “pink tide”, Latin America has experienced a reactionary counter-offensive. In the fourth year of this film series, we seek to map this counter-offensive and the tactics it has used to orchestrate soft coups, persecute political opponents, and handcuff leftist governments.

⏱️ Doors open at 7:00 pm and the film will start at 8:00 pm sharp. Please stay with us after the screening for a group discussion of the films!

🥟 We will have empanadas, jamaica water and wine from local vendors. A discount is available if you bring your own reusable water bottle.

We request a suggested donation of $10 to help us maintain our feminist programming, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
