La Granada: Short Films Inspired by Food

On Monday, February 3 from 5:00-6:30 pm, join WSU student filmmaker Hollen Foster-Grahler at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU 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 several other short films that draw 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.

This program is sponsored by SEB Arts & Spotlight, as well as STAGE and Honors Student Advisory Council.

LOCATION | The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium and the CUB) on the WSU Pullman campus.
