Underwire 2014
11-15 November, The Yard Theatre, Hackney Wick
SCHEDULE:
SATURDAY 8TH NOVEMBER
GIRLS ON FILM
71A Gallery, 71A Leonard Street, London, EC2A 4QS
A day of panel discussions focusing on the representation of women in film, in partnership with Little White Lies.
Girls on Girls
In partnership with Fringe! Film & Art Festival
This panel explores the history of the lesbian on screen, charting her emergence from the celluloid closet, into a vibrant queer community and out to the mainstream. Film historian Emma Smart (BFI Flare) is joined by academic Sophie Mayer (Queen Mary) and independent filmmakers CampbellX and Kanchi Wichmann to discuss the past and present of lesbian representation.
The Bechdel Test Needs Your Vote!
The Bechdel Test is a three-step rule to see if a film has two named female characters who have a conversation with each other that doesn’t focus on men. It’s a simple measure that many major films fail to pass. The test celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2015, yet it’s only recently that the film industry has started to take notice. Recently, Sweden introduced the ‘A Rate’ - a film classification system to communicate if a film passes the Bechdel Test. It is used in participating independent cinemas and by a major TV network. Should we follow suit? Looking at the arguments for and against, this panel aims to discover if this is the answer to increasing more multi-dimensional female characters on our screens.
The Trinity Complex
Badass hacking skills? Check. Ability to leap over buildings? Check. Relegation from cool, capable heroine to Neo’s love interest by the end of The Matrix trilogy? Also check. This is what Tasha Robinson calls ‘Trinity Syndrome’: the trope of the strong female character “who never once becomes as independent, significant, and exciting as she is in her introductory scene.” This panel explores the roles and responsibilities of the glut of ‘Strong Female Characters’ seen in the action and sci-fi blockbusters of recent years and questions whether these renegade woman are progressive – or phony.
The panel was chaired by Simran Hans and speakers included Shelley Cobb, Nida Manzoor and Noemi Gunea.
Pure Heroine - Women in Comic Book Films
As comic book films soar in popularity, our superhero sisters continue to be cast in supporting roles, consistently oversexualised or marginalised as love interests. But with Spider-woman and Black Widow films in the pipeline, and the recently released Guardians of the Galaxy including more complex female characters, are we on the cusp of change? This panel interrogates the representation of the female superhero from her comic book origins to more recent big screen incarnations, asking when will we finally see a woman saving the day?

Swallow- Kirstyn Knowles
Food is ephemeral. It’s just for you, just for that one meal, and it’s gone. In this short experimental film, personal stories combine with 8mm and 16mm home movies and HD footage, creating a visceral experience in which themes of memory, family, love, pain and desire simmer. And as a narrative of power unfolds, the centrality of food to our lives, relationships and our sense of ourselves is laid bare. Food will never quite look the same again.

A portrait of a season – a journey through North Russia and Siberia, through the feelings and thoughts of the people who have to cope with one of the world’s harshest climates; a reality where the boundary between life and death is so thin that is sometimes almost nonexistent, where civilization constantly both fights and embraces nature and its timeless rules and rites.

A reflection on fate, adaptation and the immutable cycles of existence.
