We can’t get Hollywood to agree to that, but you can do it in your life: sign up to the initiative #52FilmsbyWomen and be the change by watching films made by women in 2016. There’s 500 discussed in Political Animals, across different genres and countries. If you like fantasy/horror, you could start with Danis Goulet’s short film Wakening, which is a brilliant post-apocalyptic vision of female heroism; follow up with Carol Morley’s mysterious The Falling (initially released on DVD without Morley’s name on the cover!); and close with Gulshan Omarova’s Baksy, in which a wily female shaman returns from the dead – as feminism and feminist cinema always does and always will, however much the big boys with their big bucks try to ignore it.
