2025 | La Granada: Short Films Inspired by Food
February 3, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Free
Join us for La Granada and other short films inspired by food
Monday, February 3, 2025, 5:00–6:30 p.m.
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU
Join WSU student filmmaker Hollen Foster-Grahler at the museum for a screening of her short film La Granada. Shot in Aberystwyth, Wales, the film is a visual journey exploring feminine rage, empowerment, and community through surrealist imagery and movement. The title and central emblem of the film, la granada, is the Spanish word for both “pomegranate” and “grenade”—simultaneously a symbol of femininity and destruction. Through this dual meaning, the film examines the precarious nature of womanhood: What happens when that potential energy is finally released?
La Granada will be screened with another short film, Raspando Coco, directed by Pilar Egüez Guevara, that also draws inspiration from food, in connection with the museum’s current exhibition The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. After the screening, we will facilitate discussion and Q&A, and there will be additional time to view The Art of Food exhibition. (The galleries will open at 4pm for visitors who wish to view the exhibition in advance of the films.) Light refreshments will be provided; semi-formal attire is encouraged. Please RSVP to attend: See link above.
This program is sponsored by SEB Arts & Spotlight, as well as STAGE and Honors Student Advisory Council.
