■ Open Lecture Cinema Education "Humanity and Society Today" Series 7: "Women's Challange: At the Limits of Art"

◆ Objectives
The 7th open lecture of our series Cinema Education "Humanity and Society Today" entitled "Women's Challenge: At the Limits of Art" will be held at Ritsumeikan University.

The objective of this series of open lectures is to offer the participants an opportunity to think deeply about humanity and society as they are today through an analysis of modes of relationships depicted in cinema.

This series as an attempt to broaden our horizons by learning from ideas appearing in discussions and lectures conducted after the screenings, ideas that are sometimes bizarre, sometimes provocative, even unsettling.

At the same time the project shall create a space, in which we can enjoy cinema humanics as a pleasing diversion, spending our time immersed in discussions that do not lead to any conclusions, asking questions that have more than one answer.

In this 7th lecture of the series, "Women's Challenge: At the Limits of Art", our subject shall be documentary art created by women, art which is very radical in the art world. We hope their activities shall help us cast new light on creation and consumption, on the complex dynamics inherent in the acts of showing and of being shown, and finally try to at least approach if not answer the question of what art is..
