Huge thanks to Broadway Cinema for hosting our Reel Equality Film Club launch on Friday. What a night! It was great to see so many of you there. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Looking forward to seeing some of you at the next one on the 22nd September at the Savoy Cinema too.
For those of you who missed it, Reel Equality is a new film club we’ve launched to combat sexism on screen. We’ll be showing feature films every month that tell diverse and interesting women-centered stories that counter the dominance of male-focused stories and tired female gender stereotypes in the mainstream film industry. We’ll also be putting on fun film-themed events each month, such as food, quizzes and a bit of dressing up too. You can read more about Reel Equality in the LeftLion article here.
How can people get involved with Reel Equality?
Come to our screenings! Our first season of six films are all advertised on the Equation website, we’ll be showing in different venues across the city and everyone is welcome. Tickets are affordable, from £4-6 depending on venue. Reel Equality is largely run by a committee of volunteers, so if anyone is really passionate about gender and film, we’ll be recruiting for new committee members in September/October time. We’ll advertise on our Facebook page and on the website. Our next screening is of Another Earth on 22nd September. See you there!
