But what does the work of women filmmakers, and portrayals of women on-screen, tell us about our own cultural fears and beliefs? From audiences to filmmakers, what impact does the ongoing (and increasing) role of women in horror have on the genre overall? And what contribution can women make to such a stereotypically sexist (even misogynist) artform?
Join us for an evening of bloodletting and debate, with clips from the most iconic and innovative contributions by women filmmakers. Chaired by Linda Ruth Williams (University of Southampton film professor) and featuring Emily Booth (actress & Horror Channel presenter), Alan Jones (critic and Film4 Frightfest co-director), Muriel Gray (author & journalist), Kerry Anne Mullaney (BAFTA-nominated director, The Dead Outside) and Lizzie Francke (Film Fund Senior Production and Development Executive, UK Film Council).
