ladies film club: introduction

The ladies film club is for those women who are reticent about writing and yet they have a significant input in the film industry with their dollars spent in support of the industry.

The ladies film club is also a place to meander and write without having to stick to a specific format. It is hoped that the films seen will function as a jumping off point for discussions of women's issues
This second agenda of the Ladies film club differs from the blogs that review films such as Criticalwomen on film.
Rather than being a conveyer of information, it is hoped that the ladiesfimclub will generate discussion among many women who want to explore the ideas triggered by films and documentaries. To particpate it is not necessary to see the film or documentary.

Example of current themes might be
violence in films
sex and the child
women exploited in films
the need for documentary films.


In anticipation of a lively discourse
