AFI DOCS 2016 Filmmaker Forum: "What's Gender (Race, Ethnicity, Class) Got to Do with It?" The visibility of women filmmakers in recent years has reached unprecedented levels. A steady stream of articles in the New York Times, Hollywood Reporter, Variety, IndieWire and others have detailed the struggles women face behind the camera. Multiple research centers across the country confirm that women continue to face barriers in employment and funding opportunities. This fight to raise awareness around gender discrimination in the industry has culminated in the federal government launching investigations into Hollywood's hiring practices. But is the revolution reaching every woman in equal measure? Is filmmaking possible for the working class or working mother? Are the experiences of women of color meaningfully included in this debate? Is producing a "woman's film" a barrier to financing and distribution? Emerging and established filmmakers share their perspectives on what it takes to sustain a career on this panel moderated by Women Make Movies founder, Debra Zimmerman. Moderator Debra Zimmerman (Executive Director, Women Make Movies) Panelists Tracy Droz Tragos (ABORTION: STORIES WOMEN TELL, RICH HILL) Steph Ching (AFTER SPRING) Ellen Martinez (AFTER SPRING) Farihah Zaman (Field of Vision, Brown Girls Doc Mafia) Sponsored by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation in partnership with the National Education Association and the American Counseling Association present Time To THRIVE, the annual national conference to promote safety, inclusion and well-being for LGBTQ youth...everywhere! We are making progress on the road to legal equality, yet young LGBTQ people in America still face dramatically heightened rates of discrimination in school, at home and within their community. The impact of family rejection, bullying and the messages they hear about being LGBTQ weigh heavily on our youth. By engaging a broad audience of youth-serving professionals, including K-12 educators, mental health providers, pediatricians, religious leaders, recreational athletic coaches and youth development staff (Boys and Girls Club, YMCAs, scout leaders, etc.), we can create spaces in which LGBTQ youth are affirmed, supported and have the ability to thrive. The HRC Foundation creates impact through 11 programs and initiatives, working with individuals and organizations to make transformational change in the everyday lives of LGBTQ+ people. The Human Rights Campaign envisions a world where every member of the LGBTQ+ family has the freedom to live their truth without fear, and with equality under the law. We empower our 3 million members and supporters to mobilize against attacks on the most marginalized people in our community. Follow us!

Intersectionality is a concept often used in critical theories to describe the ways in which oppressive institutions (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, classism, etc.) are interconnected and cannot be examined separately from one another. Intersectionality considers different systems of oppression, and specifically how they overlap and are compounded. This episode will examine intersectionality in the LGBT movement and how even within minority groups, there exists a hierarchy of privilege (Gender, gender expression, class etc.) In this episode, Arit Okpo sits down with Buky Williams, Executive Director of Education as a Vaccine (EVA).

Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both. In this moving talk, she calls on us to bear witness to this reality and speak up for victims of prejudice.

"It is always awkward when someone asks me informally what I’m working on and I answer that I’m trying to figure out what gender is. For outside a rather narrow segment of the academic world, the term ‘gender’ has come to function as the polite way to talk about the sexes. And one thing people feel pretty confident about is their knowledge of the difference between males and females. Males are those human beings with a range of familiar primary and secondary sex characteristics, most important being the penis; females are those with a different set, most important being the vagina or, perhaps, the uterus. Enough said. Against this background, it isn’t clear what could be the point of an inquiry, especially a philosophical inquiry, into “what gender is”."

NEW YORK — December 3, 2012 — Racial and gender stereotypes have profound consequences in almost every sector of public life, from job interviews and housing to police stops and prison terms. However, only a few studies have examined whether these different categories overlap in their stereotypes. A new study on the connections between race and gender — a phenomenon called gendered race — reveals unexpected ways in which stereotypes affect our personal and professional decisions.
