Get in touch if there’s a film you would like to talk about! Femme on Film is a place to talk about films made for women, about women, by women… just awesome lady folk (and those who identify as awesome lady folk) content that has often been unfairly maligned, misunderstood by critics, and are often way ahead of their time and need a revisit. Ria and a guest discuss all of this and much more!
A huge thank you to the Comics in Motion network who has given space to create this podcast.
