Imagine if you looked up your favourite film online and found…nothing. Join moving image artist Sarah Turner and start enriching the feminist bit of Wikipedia.

Far too many classics of feminist film still don’t exist on Wikipedia. Help the ICA change that!

The first ICA wiki-a-thon features a Salon with academics, filmmakers and curators. Chaired by moving image artist Sarah Turner, speakers include Elinor Cleghorn, Elizabeth Cowie, Sophie Mayer, and Lucy Reynolds.

This is a chance to further and exchange knowledge of feminist film and film theory. A closed workshop will take place before the Friday Salon to post entries on Wikipedia.

Followed by a 5pm screening of She Must Be Seeing Things (Sheila McLaughlin, 1987).
