Watched An Army of Women last night at Watershed to a sold out audience Hosted by Reclaim The Frame with a Q&A with the film’s director Julie Lunde Lillesæter, CEO of SARSAS Lorri Weaving and Melanie Iredale.

This doc tells the story of a group of women in Austin, Texas, who filed a class-action lawsuit against the police and district attorney’s office who systematically failed to investigate or prosecute r**e and sexual assault cases.

The women are magnificent and the film focuses on them and not their assaults or assailants. I think it’s the first trauma informed film I’ve watched about violence against women.

It’s uplifting & inspirational and you may only be able to see it in the cinema so DO go and watch it on the big screen if you can.

Telling. Quantity of male versus female dialogue in best picture films of recent decades

Louder for those at the back: the endemic sexism in the film industry is not about profit or prowess, it’s about power. That is all.

The study found there hasn't been notable improvement over the past five years in gender-balanced hiring. Strikingly, films with gender-balanced teams tend to have lower budgets.

“On Sunday 9 March at 2.00 Rio Feminist Flm Programming Group is presenting the newest documentary from one of the UK’s greatest q***r filmmakers, Pratibha Parmar, whose previous work includes the multi-award winning Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth, Warrior Marks, A Place of Rage, and many groundbreaking experimental short films.
Pratibha Parmar will be in conversation with writer, curator and academic Lucy Reynolds following the screening.
“MY NAME IS ANDREA is like no other- lyrical and journalistic, placed in time and also timeless. And now that Andrea Dworkin’s words are turning out to predict headlines, from Time’s Up! to the gender of terrorism, this film will illuminate what's going on and help us to know what to do.” Gloria Steinem
Andrea Dworkin was a controversial feminist thinker, known to some as the personification of one side of the debates about po*******hy and female sexual freedom in the 1980s. As Parmar’s film reveals, this reductive characterisation is untrue and does a disservice to Dworkin herself and to feminism in general.
Through Dworkin’s life and work, the film challenges us to rethink the hierarchies of domination and submission that infuse our sexual, social and economic relationships. Dworkin is played at different periods of her life by different actors, including Andrea Riseborough and Ashley Judd. The film covers many aspects that influenced her passionate dedication to female freedom, including her sexual assault while at the New York Women's House of Detention, her friendships with Catherine MacKinnon, Allen Ginsberg and John Stoltenberg, and her difficult family and personal relationships. Most importantly, though, it concentrates on her writing and her public appearances, immaculately researched and presented through rare archive footage. “
