March 8 marks International Women's Day, a global celebration of the incredible achievements of women throughout history. This year's theme is #BeBoldforChange, a call-to-action encouraging everyone to work together to help forge a better, more inclusive and gender-equal working world. We're joining this movement by celebrating the amazing achievements of female filmmakers and the on-screen heroines that highlight strong women, alternative forms of femininity, and promote gender equality.
Below we have a selection of film lists, articles, film guides and other resources - including our brand new International Women's Day assembly resources - that each highlight strong female characters and important female voices in the film industry. Browse the collection below.
