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?
