Polemics: Action! An Organizing Hope

home  Program > Polemics: Action! An Organizing Hope

‘Polemics’ is a section that selects imminent issues, screens many films on the issues, and arranges opportunities to discuss such issues. This year’s ‘Polemics’section covers more than the existing feministic agenda; and attempts to analyze civilization from a feministic perspective and at the same time to spotlight the aggressive ‘action’ that attempts to ‘organize hope’ in this period of catastrophe.
