While geek communities have recently risen to prominence, very little attention is paid to geek women. Filmmaker Gina Hara, struggling with her own geek identity, explores the issue with a cast of women who live geek life up to the hilt: A feminist geek blogger, a convention-trotting cosplayer, a professional gamer, a video-game designer, and a NASA engineer. Through their personal experiences in the rich cultural explosion of nerdom, Geek Girls shows both the exhilaration of newfound community and the ennui of being ostracized. These women, striving in their respective professions and passions, face the cyberbulling, harassment, and sexism that permeate the culture and the industry at large. A rich conversation-starter for any class on Pop Culture and Feminism"--Container. 650 0 $a Geeks (Computer enthusiasts) 650 0 $a Fans (Persons) 650 0 $a Women in technology. 650 7 $a Fans (Persons) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920677 650 7 $a Geeks (Computer enthusiasts) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939479 650 7 $a Women in technology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177989 655 7 $a Documentary films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710390 655 7 $a Nonfiction films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710269 655 7 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710450 655 7 $a Documentary films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nonfiction films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Motion pictures $z Canada $2 local 700 1 $a Hara, Gina, $e director of photography. $e film producer, $e narrator, $e director of photography. 700 1 $a Massicotte, Michael, $e film producer. 700 1 $a Graham, Mattias, $e director of photography. 700 1 $a Ouellet, Mirenda, $e editor of moving image work. 710 2 $a Telefilm Canada, $e production company. 710 2 $a Talent Fund (Firm) $e production company. 710 2 $a Canada Council for the Arts. $e production company. 710 1 $a QueÌbec (Province). $b SocieÌteÌ de deÌveloppement des entreprises culturelles. $e production company. 710 2 $a Women Make Movies (Firm), $e film distributor. 941 $a 1 945 $a dvv 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116062512.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98E61AF6580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
