Put Yourself in My Place
This 25-minute black-and-white work was created within the London Women's Film Group collective. The movie's structure is a blend of fiction interspersed with documentary scenes focusing on domestic chores. It was produced in collaboration with the London-based group campaigning for "wages for housework". Co-director Francine Winham, a member of the aforementioned film group, utilized this medium to challenge cultural impositions and social roles with a fresh and critical perspective on women's domestic reality.
About Time
An extended, truly extraordinary animation sequence opens this hard-line, good-humoured work from the London Women’s Film Group. The film decodes the mythic story of Rapunzel, re-framing the folk tale in a variety of unlikely ways, revealing its darker edges and exploring its role in the relationship between patriarchy and childhood. Look out for Lora Logic from X-Ray Spex, plus Dave Swarbrick from Fairport Convention.
