Following further realisation t hat 58% of our Facebook followers were women\, and the acknowledgement tha t our cinema team included trans and non-binary people\, we felt that ther e was a social imbalance that we should address.\n\nSpecific campaigns lik e #DirectedByWomen\, The Bechdel Test\, (and the Bechdel Test Fest)\, Swed en’s A-Rate &\; Bath Film Festival’s #F-Rating are instrumental in highlighting the lack of positive representation in film. Inspired by thes e movements\, we felt that it’s time to put this discourse into affirmat ive action. Starting with a trial season that aims to initiate dialogue ab out why we programme and who we programme for\, the ultimate aim is to see policies like 58% be a permanent fixture of all cinemas. It is a testing ground to challenge our actions and our future programming decisions.\n\nT hrough closing the gender gap within our programming\, we hope to highligh t the need for and benefit of fair and positive gender representation with in our cinema\, both socially and artistically\, and challenge common idea s about the ability of marginalised filmmakers and the quality and content of their work.\n\n58% PROGRAMME\n\nJUNE 2016\nCheck the website for scree ning times and updates\n\nThur 2nd June – THE WATERMELON WOMAN Dir.
