Opening a weekend of feminist film is the independent cinema classic, Wanda. Directed by (and written by and starring) Barbara Loden, the film follows Wanda as she drifts on the periphery of society. Criticised by some at the time for being un-feminist, Wanda depicts a woman’s lack of agency and the pitfalls in life outside the accepted role in a patriarchal and capitalist world. “Wanda’s utterly guileless indifference has the feeling of an adamant integrity; her total acceptance is rather a total defiance of the norms of society that exclude her from it.” Richard Brody, The New Yorker
