Film London x Womens Museum: Girls in Film Takeover

Girls in Film and Women’s Museum share the same ethos, so we’re excited to present the first of Girls in Film’s takeovers as part of this years programme. Inspired by the current exhibition, the event will be a short film and Q&A screening exploring how memory lives in the body, objects and place – touching on domestic spaces, inherited rituals, migration and language loss.
