Join director, screenwriter and playwright Katrina Irawati Graham to explore her true love: feminist horror.

With a focus on screen works written and/or created by women, in this session we'll join Katrina for a dive headfirst into a genre typically considered both low-brow and androcentric. Delivering a much-needed feminist perspective, this session will re-frame the horror genre and invite participants to embrace tropes, investigate form, and subvert the dominant male gaze.

This session is suitable for curious writers of all forms (and genders) and experience levels ready to spend a fun evening exploring feminist horror.
