Behind the Curtain

Behind the Curtain is here to tell you that an intersectional feminist cinema is vital to our wellbeing, both as individuals and as a community.

The word 'diversity' has become useless, we should focus on equity says Mark Miller from Tate. He is sharing what he has learned from their UK wide programmes for young people, at our #innovationlab with @ICOtweets

[Women Film Directors @women_direct]

The 4% challenge is great for actors who only make a few films a year. The 4% challenge is ridiculous for studios who put out 20 or so films a year and whose movies make up the majority of the 100 highest grossing films year after year.

They are literally the problem.

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

"People that haven't existed as male and female have been here for thousands of years," non-binary artist @travisalabanza says and adds that the way society has treated trans people has contributed to their mental health problems.

(2/2) When a woman is emotional, she’s “hysterical” and she’s penalized for it. When a man does the same, he’s “outspoken” & and there are no repercussions. Thank you, @serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same.

My two cents on the horrifically transphobic #genderquake debate, and the deeply exploitative way it was put together. So much love and solidarity to my trans and gender-nonconforming comrades today, and everyday. x https://t.co/DvKjdyKmYA
