In 1972 the Edinburgh International Film Festival hosted the UK’s first women’s film festival, which was entirely dedicated to the cinematic achievements of women directors. 31 films were screened with the hope to change the canon and film history forever. Today, 46 years later, most of these films are, once again, lost.
We will re-visit two feature films from the original programme and contextualise them anew in our discussion sessions after each screening.
This screening is part of the Radical Film Network Festival 2018.
