I speak to screenwriter Emily Carlton about how the depiction of love and romance has changed on the silver screen and what effect this is having on relationships in the real world.

Emily mentions her work with 'Breaking Through The Lens', a non-profit initiative that advocates for gender equality in film by providing vital support at the financing stage. Their program is open to women and gender-expansive filmmakers, offering action grants, fiscal sponsorship, curated meetings and industry mentorship. They are taking applications, so please see more on their projects at: https://breakingthroughthelens.org/

Emily references Nina Menkes's documentary 'Brainwashed', which explores the sexual politics of cinematic shot design and how male and female actors are treated differently by the camera: https://www.brainwashedmovie.com/

Produced by the Bloomsbury Institute in London.
