Don’t Call Me Honey: Fierce Women of Film

This two-month series highlights cinematic contributions by women across genres and eras while celebrating the idea of “fierce” in all forms—from trailblazing filmmakers behind the camera to truly kick-ass characters on screen. Watch this page in coming weeks: tickets will go on sale soon.

The series was cocurated by a group of scholars, artists, and curators including Vera Brunner-Sung (Filmmaker & Assistant Professor, Department of Theatre, Ohio State); Jennifer Lange (Wexner Center for the Arts); Laura Larson (Artist, Associate Professor of Photography & Integrated Media, Ohio University); Sandra Macpherson (Associate Professor, Department of English, Ohio State); April Martin (Filmmaker & Artivist, Oakland, CA); Astria Suparak (Artist & Curator, Oakland); and David Filipi (Wexner Center for the Arts).
