Entrance free. Tuesday to Sunday; closed MondaysCinem Club - FEMINISING THE MYTH OF THE AMERICAN WESTCinem Club - FEMINISING THE MYTH OF THE AMERICAN WESTThoresby CollegeThe Great HallSouth QuayThe western has, traditionally, been a male-centred genre. Women, where they appear, have usually been peripheral figures, incidental to the real action of the movie.
Although we have had films that present us with female versions of the gunslinger, only relatively recently has there been a serious attempt to examine the role played by women in the conquest of the western frontier.
In this "Close-up", Malcolm Prue aims to look at some of the ways in which the female perspective has been represented in a range of critically well-received post-millennial western films.
Our Close-Ups events are £5 for members and their guests, otherwise £6, which includes complementary refreshments. This can be paid on the door but please book your place in advance by e-mailing email hidden; JavaScript is required as this helps us with catering and photocopies!
