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.
