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.
