Friday nights are made for fashion films! FSA brings you the third installment of our monthly series that showcases a fashion (or fashion-adjacent) film, a thematic menu and a post-film discussion.

This month’s selection is Ms .45 (1981), directed by Abel Ferrara, produced by Naravon Films.

(Trigger Warning: This film contains violence and depictions of sexual assault.)

Synopsis: A twice-raped New York garment worker (Zoë Tamerlis) becomes a violent agent of revenge for wronged women.

Here’s how to join: 

(Optional): Prepare/procure the thematic menu items, curated by co-founding FSA members Ariele Elia, Sarah Byrd and Kim Jenkins

Rent/stream Ms .45 and view the film synchronously with us on Friday evening, July 17 at 7:00 pm EDT

Join co-founding members Kim Jenkins and April Calahan via Zoom as they lead a virtual discussion immediately following the film at 8:30 pm EDT 

Document the event with us, using #fsafilmnight

Next month’s film: Martin Margiela: In His Own Words (2020)
