  • 8. Corrina Antrobus: Founder/Director of the Bechdel Test Fest

    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)
