In celebration of International Women’s Day, we are hosting a short film series supported by Warner Bros Discovery, exploring the infinite expressions of womanhood and spotlighting underrepresented talent from our very own G.O.A.T Film Club community.

Watch these beauties on the big screen and join us for a drinks reception + special Q&A with the filmmakers.
