In this interview with Mia Bays (Birds’ Eye View), we discuss the recent Reclaim The Frame
project, a year-long UK-wide touring programme that showcases female directed or scripted
films, usually new or recent releases. The interview explores the idea that this kind of curation
is a necessary feminist intervention in the contemporary British cinema circuit, one that offers
audiences agency and acknowledges that initiatives in film production alone are not sufficient
to shift structural inequalities in the film industry. The piece begins with some contextual detail
before turning to my discussion with Bays.
