This week on BROAD Sonja Hammer showcases the Feminist Writers Festival and interviews two up-and-coming filmmakers from the Victorian College of the Arts.
Writer/Director Monique Mulcahy and Producer Chloe Stannard are in the studio to talk about their upcoming short film Man in the Moon, a science-fiction drama about independence, the relationship between a single mother and her son, and alien invasions. The fundraising campaign for the film ends on the 18th of September, and you can lend your support through their Pozible campaign.
We play O Mio Babbino as performed by South African opera singer Pumeza Matshikiza, who was interviewed on JOY earlier this week.
BROAD News recaps women’s fantastic work at the Rio Olympics. The Pierre de Coubertin medal was awarded to runners Nikki Hamblin and Abbey D’Agostino for outstanding sportsmanship; Caster Semenya ran to victory in spite of invasive and misogynistic scrutiny; Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky made some spectacular achievements in gymnastics and swimming; and new uniforms were debuted by the Egyptian women’s beach volleyball team, allowing more women to compete without compromising their beliefs and personal comfort.
Back in Australia, the Zine and Indie Comix Symposium has awarded the Golden Stapler Award to Woolf Pack for best collaborative zine; Australian men are still being paid on average more than 20% than women; and the United Nations Association of Australia will be holding a national forum on the economic empowerment of women and girls, from the 5th to the 6th of September which you can register for here.
2016 marks the first ever Melbourne Feminist Writers’ Festival, a celebration and exploration of feminism in literature and journalism. Sonja interviews Shakira Hussein about her book From Victims to Suspects: Muslim Women since 9/11. Shakira talks about how her Muslim and feminist identities influences her work. The full podcast of this interview will be available soon, and you can see her speak on the 26th and 27th of August at the Feminist Writers’ Festival.
