Bechdel Test Fest founder Corrina Antrobus talks to Mona Fastvold, director of The World To Come. In this powerful 19th century romance set in the American Northeast, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer's wife, and her new neighbour Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves irrevocably drawn to each other. A grieving Abigail tends to her withdrawn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) as free-spirit Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbott), when together their intimacy begins to fill a void in each other's lives they never knew existed. Directed by Mona Fastvold and scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen, THE WORLD TO COME explores how isolation is overcome by the intensity of human connection. Who Is She?

In this special bonus episode, Bechdel Steph talks to podcaster and author Mallory O'Meara about her book on the legacy of makeup artist Milicent Patrick, who designed the Creature from the 1954 horror classic, Creature From The Black Lagoon.

Mallory O'Meara's book, The Lady From The Black Lagoon, is available in UK book shops now. Who Is She? A Bechdel Test Fest Podcast is a Bechdel Test Fest production.

This week I’m joined by Corrina Antrobus, who is very much someone I started the podcast with the intent to interview. As you can tell by the runtime, we covered a lot, which is predominantly due to the fact that Corrina is a very busy woman and has had a really dynamic career, so there were lots of threads to explore. Corrina started out in VOD marketing for Virgin Movies, having worked her way up from receptionist and then moved over to Picturehouse Cinemas & Picturehouse Entertainment to become their Communications Manager, handling press and PR for releases such as God’s Own Country, Animals, The Wife, Out of Blue, Capernaum, The Last Tree and Monos. She recently left that job to become Arts and Culture Communications Officer for Hackney, so we talk about what prompted that move, how she felt about slightly leaving the world of film and what projects she’s currently working on. And then on top of that Corrina is the founder of Bechdel Test Fest -  an ongoing screening collective who present films with a positive representation for women in film that she runs alongside Beth Webb, Steph Watts and Caitlin Quinlan who are all incredible women with many a side hustle in their own right. The first event I ever went to was a 25th anniversary screening of Thelma & Louise, and I’ve since been to several sold-out screenings that they’ve put on, always with a really thoughtfully considered panel that provides fresh context to older films.  We devote a big chunk of the interview to talking about what prompted Corrina to start the festival, what her programming principles are and how she got the thing up and running. Alongside that we talk about the power of social media, the importance of seeing positive representations of women and people of colour, what Corrina has learnt since setting up the festival and the advice she would pass on to anyone wanted to run their own collective. And in a podcast first, we also discuss redundancy and how Corrina dealt with her experience of that. It’s a really lovely episode I think - Corrina is incredibly smart and thoughtful and there are lots of other topics I could’ve and would’ve love to pick her brain about, but I think we’ve done a pretty good job of covering her many passions and pursuits and I hope you enjoy hearing about them. This is episode 45 of Best Girl Grip.

Welcome to the Ghibliotheque, the podcast that leafs through the library of films from the world’s greatest animation studio, Studio Ghibli.In this episode, Michael Leader and Jake Cunningham are joined by film programmer and journalist Beth Webb (Empire Magazine, Little White Lies, Bechdel Test Fest) to talk about everyone's favourite forest spirit, My Neighbour Totoro. First released in a double bill with Grave Of The Fireflies in 1988, Totoro was, at first, only a modest success, but thanks to merchandising and some timeless Miyazaki magic, the film has become one of the Studio's most iconic releases, and the character himself serves as Ghibli's company mascot to this day.Read Beth's 30th anniversary article on My Neighbour Totoro here: http://lwlies.com/articles/my-neighbour-totoro-hayao-miyazaki/Read Hayao Miyazaki and Akira Kurosawa's 'fireside chat' here: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/interviews/miyazaki_kurosawa_p1.html.Follow Michael, Jake and Beth on Twitter:@MichaelJLeader – Michael@jakehcunningham – Jake@BethKWebb - BethFor more details about Film4's Ghibli Season, click here: https://bit.ly/2JYqrBjAdditional production on this episode from Steph Watts - @_stephwatts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On International Women's Day, take a second to ask yourself - do the films you love pass the almighty Bechdel Test? In order to pass, The Bechdel Test asks that a film or piece of fiction features at least two female characters that interact with each other without mentioning a man. That seems simple enough, you might think? It’s actually much rarer than you imagine. Founder of the UK’s Bechdel Test Fest, Corrina Antrobus, sheds light on what drove her to set up her own film festival as she reveals her top three favourite movies... ...but do they pass the test too? Featured films: Moonlight (2016, Barry Jenkins) Broadcast News (1987, James L Brookes) Set It Off (1996, F. Garry Gray) Thanks to @corinnacorrina Find out more about the Bechdel Test Fest and their events: http://bechdeltestfest.com/ Presented by @antoniaobrien Produced by @karenellenbevan Show us some love on twitter using #AdmitOne And don’t forget to rate/review our podcast you lovely, lovely people x

In the 13th episode of Film Chat, Sam and Danny discuss the Bechdel Test, the theme of the upcoming year-long Bechdel Test Fest in London. For those who don't know what it is, we've got an educational musical number that will teach you all about it. Plus we review Selma, the civil rights drama set in the curious bygone days when the USA had race issues, and Shaun the Sheep, a delightful animated adventure that would be the clear frontrunner for Best Picture 2016 if there was any justice in this world. The whole thing is more than a little reminiscent of The Sign of Zorro (1958), the 13th American Zorro film which I'm told features continual references to sheep and voting rights.
