Bolognstein

Abstract

Employing science fiction and fantasy as a framework for cinematic storytelling, I aim to uncover the effects humour has on challenging and dismantling the stereotypes of female scientists. Following the night of a young vaccinologist, Bolognstein entertains and engages an audience that is reflected, not in a mad scientist, but in a girl coming to terms with her choices and identity in modern society. Satirising subversive feminist tropes, I encourage a deeper discussion to be had on the role of women in science and the space they occupy. Show more
