Join us for “Immigrant Women: resisting and re-existing”, our annual outdoor Translocal Feminist Film Series that, on its fifth run, has become a summer and uptown staple.

As the criminalization of immigrant communities intensifies and our already precarious access to basic social services is curtailed, we have curated a list of films that highlight the intersecting character of our struggles–whether those over labor rights, access to social services, and against surveillance, detention and deportation.

Our Film Series also celebrates the resilience, friendship, solidarity and hybridness of our communities and, in particular, of women and gender expansive people.

Join us August 2nd for a bilingual (English/Spanish) screening of:

🌐 Borderland: the Line Within (2025) dir Pamela Yates, run time 1 hr 45 mins

Immigrants are under attack every day in this country, and not just along the southern border - we have become a Borderland, the border is everywhere and within every immigrant. A massive surveillance, militarized and carceral apparatus has been built to capture, imprison, and deport millions of immigrants. Trump vows to round up and force mass deportation of immigrants regardless of documentation status. In BORDERLAND | The Line Within a trio of digital humanists, immigrants themselves, dig deep into the hidden apparatus of the border industrial complex, exposing ruthless profiteering from the suffering of fellow humans. In juxtaposition, the stories of immigrant heroines and heroes forge a way forward, intent on building a movement claiming their human rights in the shadow of this behemoth. The protagonists’ engagement with each other via text, Zoom, voice, and in-person crafts our storylines into one coherent whole, envisioning a future for immigrants rooted in human connection and the sanctity of life.

All screenings will be at Haven plaza (711W 168th St NYC 10032 across from Barnes and Noble). Doors open at 6:30 and film will begin at 7:30, followed by an open discussion lead by fellow organizers and filmmakers. Join us to celebrate summer, eat, drink, check out our t-shirt and print sale, meet new friends, promote political awareness, and build solidarity uptown!

UWF is entirely volunteer run and relies on community support to continue our work. If you have the means to donate the price of a ticket it would be an immense help towards funding our summer programming. We collect donations at the door to make this programming possible, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Any and all contributions help! You can also support the Film Series by getting a shirt in spanish or english.

Check out our other screenings on August 16th: La Cocina de Las Patronas & Elena and August 30th: Hummingbirds
