MONSTROUS FEMININE: ALIEN SEMINAR

OCTOBER 26, 2026

 

Monstrous Feminine: Alien as eco - feminist hero in a landscape presenting a definitive monster – capitalist violence.

In this seminar hosted by The Coolidge Corner Theatre, we explore themes within Alien that illustrate its foundational importance as a horror standard, as well as a game changer for who could be a Final Girl. In the film’s creation of a resourceful, female-dominant species, the character of Ripley finds not simply foe but simultaneous conservationist – as both struggle to survive the military-industrial complex.
