April 22 Featuring Jen Marlowe: Stories that Move the Needle
How can filmmaking/storytelling be used for social change, moving us closer to a world of freedom, dignity and equality for everyone?

YouTube: https://youtu.be/yUZEAcrxcUg
Jen Marlowe is a Seattle-based award-winning author/documentary filmmaker/playwright and human rights activist. Jen began her professional life working at Seattle Children’s Theatre; from 1994-2000, she did youth theatre work in Seattle, using theatre as a platform for students to tell their stories. Jen lived and worked in Jerusalem from 2000-2004, using some of these same techniques to engage in dialogue-based conflict resolution with Palestinian and Israeli teenagers. Jen also did conflict resolution work with youth in Afghanistan, Cyprus, India, Pakistan and Bosnia-Herzegovina. It was while working with youth in conflict areas that she first picked up a video camera—at that time, in order to record messages being exchanged between Israeli and Palestinian youth. As the youth themselves pushed the video dialogue project to more complex realms, Jen began to explore the idea of how film can be used, not only as a tool of dialogue, but also as a tool of activism. http://www.donkeysaddle.org/index.php/jen-marlowe-bio

The Hero's Journey has become integral to Hollywood and the narrative industries -- from 2001 & Star Wars to The Avengers & Finding Dory. Around the world and across the fields of myth and storytelling, women, men, scholars and storytellers are exploring what distinguishes the Heroine's journey from the Hero's. To what extent are they the same? What about them is different? What do Inanna, Isis, Artemis and Persephone have in common with Katniss, Wonder Woman, Rey and Furiosa? Drawing from popular stories alongside the work of great mythologists and story scholars, this is what we're going to explore. https://youtu.be/Ogu0LdUj1UQ
