Not Your Final Girl Fest is a weekend celebration of contemporary and classic film, providing engaging discourse and cultural reflection of feminist cinema within the binds of horror and genre film. Historically, the female archetype in horror and genre films falls into s*xualization and victimization. The final girl is the stereotypical surviving female protagonist, frequently portrayed as an underdeveloped character and as an overt s*x symbol—NYFG fest aims to showcase films where female protagonists are multidimensional and able to express the emotions that women are so often told to suppress, destroying preconceived notions of feminine passivity and weakness. The films featured in NYFG fest frame these traits as strengths and tenacity instead of infirmity… often resulting in terror and bloodshed.
Part of the Metro Cinema’s Guest Curator series, programmed & coordinated by Georgia Couglan & Nicole Boychuk, NYFG takes place October 17 th, 18th &20th. This is the second installment of NYFG.
NYFG Fest took place October 27-29th, 2018 with proceeds from the festival being donated to S.A.C.E: Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton. NYFG Fest is sponsored by Yellowhead Brewing Co. & Black Fly Beverages.
