  1. Misogyny, Horror & Architecture: Mid-Century & the End of Reproductive Justice in the U.S.

    Misogyny, Horror & Architecture: Mid-Century & the End of Reproductive Justice in the U.S.

    We are on the verge of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion throughout the United States.  With this decision, other landmark rulings including those that legalized access to contraception, gender-affirming care, and same-sex marriage may also be threatened.  How did we get here? Of course, this is a rhetorical question, as we have experienced the federal government and state-based legislatures, coupled with legal campaigns, chip away at Roe for the past 49 years.  I have been interested in understanding which stories, storytellers, (former president Trump comes to mind), and cultural forces are drowning out the narratives from the 6 in 10 (61%) Americans who believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. An intriguing exploration is Mid-Century, a horror film starring Chelsea Gilligan and edited by Stephanie Filo.  Seemingly about a husband and wife's weekend in a mid-century modern vacation rental turns deadly, the story brings to life the narratives that helped to move the U.S. to this political moment.  Written during the Trump administration, the film shows the power and cruel consequences of former president Trump's narrative of an imagined time when America was at its greatest: The 1950s, a pre-civil, gender, and LGBTQ+ rights era, amongst most human rights. I talked with Chelsea Gilligan, who plays Dr. Alice Dodgeson, the lead role, and Stephanie Filo.  We talked about everything from their work on the film and the entertainment industry to their life journeys and love of community and cooking. Stephanie Filo, ACE is a two-time Emmy and Peabody Award-winning TV/Film Editor and activist based in Los Angeles, CA and Sierra Leone, West Africa. She serves on the board for Girls Empowerment Sierra Leone, a social impact and feminist-based organization for Sierra Leonean girls aged 11-16. She is one of the co-founders of End Ebola Now, an organization created in 2014 to spread accurate information and awareness about the Ebola Virus and its impact through artistic community activism. Chelsea Gilligan made her series regular debut on The CW's "Star-Crossed" where Gilligan portrayed "Teri," a tough as nails high school student, who also happens to be an alien. Her past credits include roles on shows like "How I Met Your Mother," Victorious" and "Big Time Rush."

    Julie Cohen

    A Conversation with Director Julie Cohen about the new documentary, My Name is Pauli Murray (Directed by Julie Cohen, Betsy West, 2021. A pioneering attorney, activist, priest and dedicated memoirist, Murray shaped landmark litigation — and consciousness — around race and gender equity. As an African American youth raised in the segregated South — who was also wrestling with broader notions of gender identity — Pauli understood, intrinsically, what it was to exist beyond previously accepted categories and cultural norms. Both Pauli’s personal path and tireless advocacy foreshadowed some of the most politically consequential issues of our time. Told largely in Pauli’s own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey.
