Welcome to the 9th Annual Femtasia® Fest!
Presented by Femtasia Fest and the Philosophical Research Society.
Come join us for for a magical evening filled with underground Feminist Films, Mystic Markets, Espiral Collective film workshops and screenings and a Secret After-Dark surprise by Gutter Gutter Studios.
Founded in Los Angeles in 2015, 
Femtasia® Fest
 emerged as a beacon for underrepresented voices of women, femme, and non-binary independent filmmakers.
Join us at the Historic 
Philosophical Research Society
 on Saturday 
June 28th
 from 12:00pm-8:30pm for a day filled with underground, psychotropic, and 
esoteric films
 made by 
women, femme,
 and 
non-binary filmmakers
.
Starting off the event at 12:00pm in the main theatre will be Femtasia Fest's main attraction with films happening all day, live QA's from filmmakers, and vendors in the lobby.
Take a small break and check out the Artist Lounge where Latinx film collective, 
Espiral
 will lead film workshops and screenings featuring filmmakers from their collective from 12:00pm to 2:30pm.
Espiral Collective
Espiral Collective showcases inspiring films, documentaries, narratives, and experimental films from local filmmakers all around Southern California in various locations. Their hope for these “screenings on wheels” is to provide a space where filmmakers can speak on their past and present projects and to allow a space for community and networking.
In addition to programming once a month, Espiral Collective meets about three times a month and have a '
Gritos y Cuadros
' (or 'Screams & Squares) workshop - dedicated to refining scripts, performance and giving lens-based direction and a 'Focus and Fletchas' (or 'Lightbulbs and Arrows') meeting - to better organize and plan their monthly activities.

Secret After-Dark 
surprise by 
Gutter Gutter Studios
 
for those who dare to dream of shadows, mystery, and the shimmer of something forbidden.

A monthly informal gathering to discuss all things related to death and dying with tea and refreshments
The DEATH CAFE, hosted by Elizabeth Gill Lui and The Philosophical Research Society, is a regular gathering of small groups interested in sharing in discussions about all things related to death and dying held on the third Thursday and fourth Saturday of each month. The focus will be open-ended and will follow whatever direction a spontaneous conversation may lead. It is informal, without expectation, and open to all.
The Death Cafe will also bring lightness to the gathering by 
serving tea and refreshments

The Death Cafe is part of a growing international movement of people who desire to reevaluate and transform our cultural relationship to death.
