I'm a little shocked & weirdly grateful to see that my interview with Nolan replayed on BBC Radio 5. Starting @ 43:30 mins & runs to the end. The messages after last Monday's show have been so heartwarming - thank you for being so gracious.

So glad to hear that my idea for a #DirectedbyWomen Worldwide Film Viewing Party has inspired people to prioritize films by women directors over the course of this past decade! There really are SO many amazing options to choose from and more continue to be made.

Sylvie @slywit.bsky.social · Sep 6

Ten years ago this month, inspired by the #DirectedByWomen worldwide watch party and the #52FilmsByWomen initiative, I began to prioritize women directors. Despite this list being at 450+ films, I still have many greats left to see. This month, #FemaleFilmmakerFriday will be all about those gaps. 📽️

Directed by Women (2015–2025)

LIST IN PROGRESS: This is a list of all feature films* directed by women that I have watched since 2015, which is when I started to prioritize female directors, first with my "Directed By Women" proje...

I love how the ivy flower supports butterflies and bees and then in the depths of winter feeds berries to the birds. A great plant for wildlife.

It's sad to think about that and to consider that many women without children search endlessly for "purpose".

There are many paths in life and not all must lead to childbearing

Women are not defined by our capacity or desire to bear children

Child free is a wonderful life

Not everyone wants to have kids. We should celebrate those who chose not to, as well as empathising with those who couldn't have kids

Byddi Lee 📚 Author |🎭Playwright |🎬 Screenwriter @byddi.bsky.social · 25d

It's been an amazing week of sharing stories, blasting through the taboo of talking about childlessness and showing the world that we are not invisible.

Celebrating with those who are childfree by choice is wonderful and empowering for all. And thank you for your empathy for those of us who did have our dream of parenthood come to fruition xo
