Other events taking place in February will include a discussion of Sally Potter’s feminist classic The Gold Diggers, and a six-week evening course investigating the changing culture around women’s filmmaking called Women’s Film: Changing the Guard.

And, if you’re anything like us, you’ll also be a huge fan of some of the female characters portrayed on the smaller screen, namely the incredible Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag and Stylist cover star Michaela Coel’s Tracey Gordon in Chewing Gum. TV fans will get the chance to explore these characters further in March, when there will be a special event called Thank You for Being a Friend, examining shows which feature honest, complex and hilarious portrayals of female friendship including Girls, Broad City, Fleabag, Insecure and Chewing Gum.
