Marking IWD with film

IN celebration of International Women’s Day, two female created, led and supported movies will be screened in Ballarat.

The first, set to take place at Regent Cinemas on Thursday, 4 March from 7pm, is a collaboration between Women’s Health Grampians and WRISC Family Violence Support.

The showing is a special screening of Brazen Hussies, a documentary celebrating the legacy of the Women’s Liberation Movement and the women who re-ignited the feminist revolution in Australia.

Ticket proceeds from the night will go to WRISC. For more info on the Brazen Hussies event visit bit.ly/3uh8y8T.

The second film screening is the Ballarat premier of new Australian film Women of Steel, and set to show at Trades Hall on Saturday, 6 March from 7.30pm.

Using rare archival footage, the film tells the stories of the women who campaigned for their right to work in the 1980s and eventually saw laws changed in their favour.

The film’s director Robynne Murphy will also be conducting a Q and A session with the audience afterwards the screening.
