New Queer Cinema/New Politics?
a Bentson Dean’s Lecture Series lecture by B. Ruby Rich
Wednesday, October 9
5:30 to 7 pm
B. Ruby Rich, Film & Digital Media, UC Santa Cruz
Rich will revisit the terrain of this 1990s cinema movement movement by examining it—-with film clips-—in the context of our contemporary sociopolitical order.

A longtime commentator and correspondent in radio and television, Rich is a member of SAG-AFTRA and has received the Distinguished Career Achievement award of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies, among other honors.
