Bechdel Test Fest's next event is in partnership with MUBI and the Barbican Centre. On the 11th May we're hosting a special screening of new release Madeline’s Madeline + Q&A hosted by co-manager Beth Webb with director Josephine Decker. Special edition artwork has been created for the event by Stephanie Watts.
Decker’s third feature introduces star newcomer Helena Howard as Madeline, a lonely teenage girl in need of an expressive outlet. She joins a theatre collective and falls into the community immediately, but soon the lines between art and her reality begin to blur. With supporting performances from Molly Parker and Miranda July, Madeline’s Madeline is a captivating and dream-like exploration of how creative and personal boundaries can be pushed to the limit.
