In a live episode recorded at the London Podcast Festival, we chat to some of the women behind two big titles on the small screen: Back To Life and Sex Education.
First up, creator and star of Back To Life Daisy Haggard chats to Anna about her darkly comic BBC drama, as the showâs second series hits our screens. From teenage fashion and tamagotchis to social attitudes to female criminals, they discuss the stories behind the series. Plus, she shares her directorial daydreams of helming a feminist Jaws...
Next, Chinenye Ezeudu joins us to talk about her role in the Netflix smash Sex Education. She hints at whatâs to come for her character Viv in the forthcoming series 3, and gives a glimpse into her own future acting and writing projects.
Finally, Chinenyeâs collaborator and director of Sex Education series 2 Alice Seabright takes to the stage to talk about her work on the show. We hear about her fab feminist short films and upcoming TV series Chloe -- plus she tells us about her experience of working with top intimacy coordinator Ita OâBrien, and what slug sex has got to do with shooting an intimate sceneâŠ
All three of our guests give us some stellar watchlist recommendations, and shoutout the women in the industry who have inspired them. Plus, our guests tackle some fascinating questions in a Q&A with our live audience.

From intimacy scenes to industry tips, our fun feminist film chat went down a treat at Latitude Festivalâs The Listening Post in July 2021. We were ecstatic to be back on stage for the first time since March 2020!
First, Kerry chats to Anna about her directorial debut Topping Out and the short filmâs unique depiction of male vulnerability. She further discusses the challenges of filming on scaffolding, explains the importance of the focus puller, and recalls working with director Jane Campion. They have an interesting discussion about the negatively gendered use of the word âdifficultâ. From Intimacy (2001) to Rare Beasts (2021), keep listening to hear more about Kerryâs acting experiences.
Next, our Assistant Producer and occasional Audio Producer Elliana joins Kerry and Anna on stage. She discusses being a young woman trying to break into the film and tv industries, and offers an insight into the inner workings of the Girls On Film podcast over the past year.

Ep 88: Gender in cult horror with Censor director Prano Bailey-Bond & star Niamh Algar
Tuesday, August 17, 2021 âą Duration 44:26
Horror experts and Censor filmmakers talk gender, guts and gore - and the things we might not want to rememberâŠ
First up, critics Clarisse Loughrey and Leila Latif get to the guts of the exciting new British horror film Censor, celebrating its role in the female horror renaissance. They debate the movieâs meta-messages and share their own experiences of the video nasties era - or, in Clarisseâs case, the stateside âSatanic Panicâ.
Next, Censor director Prano Bailey-Bond and star Niamh Algar join Anna to discuss the retro chiller, set amidst the moral panic of the 1980s video nasties craze. Niamh reveals her experience of playing the movieâs highly-strung film censor Enid, whose repressed trauma rises to the surface thanks to one of the gory slashers sheâs handed for the snip. From cult horror to the culture wars, Prano shares her inspirations and fascinating research for the film - plus what it was like to shoot its more stomach-churning scenes!
From the feminist highlights of Censor to overdue reappraisals of genre-classics, thereâs plenty to chew on for fans of a psychological scare.
Censor is in UK cinemas August 20th 2021.
Other movie and TV mentions: Saint Maud, Midsommar, Cannibal Holocaust, Driller Killer, The Last House On The Left, The Witch That Came From The Sea, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Ep 87: I'm Your Man with star Maren Eggert & critic Terri White
Tuesday, August 10, 2021 âą Duration 41:16
Dan Stevens plays a lovebot in the new female-directed film I'm Your Man... and there's a LOT to discuss! First up, critic and author Terri White joins Anna to talk about the unconventional German rom-com. It stars Maren Eggert as a woman who trials a robot (played by Stevens) designed specifically to please her. Terri and Anna debate the genre of this hybrid movie and discuss its central gender flip. They further unpick the complex character of Alma and celebrate Marenâs memorable performance of her.
Next, Anna speaks to the terrific Maren Eggert herself. From working with writer-director Maria Schrader to starring opposite Brit actor Dan Stevens, she shares her experience of making the movie. Which tricky stunt failed to make the cut? Whatâs it like to perform sex with a robot? And is Iâm Your Man a feminist film? Keep listening to find out!

Ep 86: The Film Industry Post-Pandemic Panel
Tuesday, August 3, 2021 âą Duration 46:55
In this bonus episode, weâre bringing you a podcast edition of our âFilm Industry Post-Pandemicâ panel, created in partnership with the BFI for their Woman With A Movie Camera summit, powered by Jaguar. We assembled a panel of expert women from five corners of the film industry to talk about the future of their fields following the impact of Covid-19.
Anna is first joined by Allison Gardner, CEO of Glasgow Film, Claire Vaughan, lead programmer at Cardiffâs multi-artform venue Chapter, and filmmaker, writer and disability advocate Kyla Harris. They share what the pandemic has revealed about the workings of their respective facets of the industry, what changes they made to survive, and how we can hold on to some of those creative innovations to help us thrive in future.
Allison shares how she made a success of Glasgow Film Festival despite ongoing lockdowns, and Claire tells Anna how she got creative with programming when cinemas closed their doors. Kyla talks about the impact of the pandemic for people with disabilities -- plus her new project documenting her endeavour to teach a friend her care regime in just one week. The panel also discuss the crucial role of caring and carers in society, and how the film industry can acknowledge and facilitate this better.
In a second conversation, filmmaker and Luxor director Zeina Durra joins Anna alongside Eve Gabereau, CEO of Luxorâs female-led distributor Modern Films. They discuss the challenges of releasing an independent movie during lockdown, and how filmmakers and distributors have worked together to achieve successes like Luxorâs in this challenging time. All this and many more strong words from inspiring women.
Other TV and movie mentions: Luxor, It's Personal, The Imperialists Are Still Alive!

Thursday, July 29, 2021 âą Duration 37:56
Anna is first joined by Mia Bays and Be Manzini for a celebration of Sundance Film Festival: London.

What do Indian female journalists bring to light, that their male counterparts may not?
