| Performance Notes | Royal Albert Hall presents a special screening of Suffragette with Q&A, as part of our Women and the Hall festival.
Directed by Sarah Gavron and written by Abi Morgan, Suffragette (2015) is inspired by the true story of womens suffrage in Britain. Starring Anne-Marie Duff, Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter, with Meryl Streep, the film follows the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement women who were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal state.
A post-screening Q&A panel, chaired by Oscar winning producer Mia Bays, will include the films director Sarah Gavron, producers, Alison Owen (Elizabeth, Saving Mr Banks, Shaun of the Dead) and Faye Ward (Jane Eyre, The Other Boleyn Girl), Helen Pankhurst, international development and womens rights activist (and great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst), and Catherine Mayer co-founder of the Womens Equality Party.
The film was rated a 12 by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).
Women and the Hall celebrates the women who were instrumental in the fight for womens suffrage, and provides a platform for the women who are shaping our future, through a season of talks, film screenings and performances. |
