Women of Sci-Fi
VIRTUAL REPERTORY SERIES
Presented by Strictly Brohibited
Wednesday, May 13 – Tuesday, May 19, 2020
At the start of 2020, The Brattle launched a year-long programming initiative to celebrate science fiction cinema. Each one of our bi-monthly schedules was to have included significant programs and series dedicated to the genre but, little did we know, we would soon be living through our own dystopic timeline. In order to continue our “Year of Science Fiction” while in shutdown mode, we invited our friends at Strictly Brohibited to curate a series of sci-fi films that have a significant creative contribution from women – either behind the camera or the page of the script. Beginning this Wednesday, May 13 and running through May 19, The Brattle will be highlighting these titles in a WOMEN OF SCI-FI series. Additionally, the team behind Strictly Brohibited will be joining us to discuss the series on next week’s episode of THE BRATTLE FILM PODCAST.

Though overshadowed at the time of its release by Armageddon, which came out less than two months after this movie hit theaters, DEEP IMPACT is an entertaining and epic story from director Mimi Leder that provides a decidedly different perspective on the planetary disaster genre. – AD
