Make More Noise! Suffragettes In Silent Film + Q&A

The suffragettes' campaign gathered momentum as cinema was born and the movement realised that the moving image was a powerful medium to share the message of "Votes for women". This compilation of 21 short films includes newsreel footage and anarchic early comedies, which reveal both the prevailing moods of the era and the reaction of the male establishment to the suffragettes' demands.

Directed by Douglas Weir, Bryony Dixon, Margaret Deriaz
