In this episode, Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney and Executive Editor Orla Smith have a wide ranging conversation about film criticism and more specifically women in film criticism with Lindsay Pugh of Woman in Revolt. They begin discussing our new ebook, Portraits of resistance: The cinema of Céline Sciamma and the conversation evolves to cover Seventh Row’s approach to putting together books and the lack of good film criticism on women directors.
