Here's the 24th batch of #52FilmsByWomen watched since taking the pledge in 2016. This batch of 52 films, 1198 – 1249, are those watched between July and November 2025. They included 38 feature films, 9 shorts, 2 TV series and 3 feature-length documentaries. Many of the shorts and features were those watched as part of the 10th Femme Filmmakers Festival, and online celebration of films directed by women. You can read more about the films programme and my review of the features and shorts curated this year here.
