title = "Doing film feminisms in the age of popular feminism: a roundtable convened by Claire Perkins and Jodi Brooks",
abstract = "In a move that has now been thoroughly documented, the Anglophone West of the past decade or so has become an environment in which feminism is popular. Film and television, and the discourses around them, have been central to this development, with productions from Eternals (Chlo{\'e} Zhao, 2021) to Fleabag (2016-2019) to Barbie (Greta Gerwig, 2023) prompting an infoglut of commentary that foregrounds and debates the feminist credentials of a wave of new media content that centres women as both characters and creators. But what does it mean to label this content {\textquoteleft}feminist{\textquoteright}? Focusing on screen culture and education, the short reflections in this forum consider the tensions of this moment from a variety of perspectives–teaching, screen production, criticism, history and the academy.",
