BAFTSS 2026 is done, and what a fab 3 days! Two Amateur Cinema SIG panels and some hands-on with 9.5mm, a treat! @baftss.bsky.social #Baftss2026 #amateurfilm

This week on the podcast, @zoevb.bsky.social, Wessex #Film & Sound Archive Film Curator, tells us about her research on gender & class in the WFSA’s Amateur Film Collection from 1895 to 1950. Listen: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/... Transcript: www.infinite-women.com/wp-content/u...

I am delighted to share that my monograph ‘Women and Amateur Cinema: Redefining Authorship within the Archive’ is under contract to be published with Edinburgh University Press in 2027. 📚 #womenfilmmakers #amateurfilm

Two weeks since I had the pleasure of spending a fantastic few days at the Doing Women’s Film and Television History conference. Great to be able to talk more about the work of amateur cine club Crystal Productions, and amplifying the voices of its female members. #DWFTH7

Random things that end up on my desk: 1912 Pathé KoK 28mm projector; beautiful piece of domestic engineering 🎞️
