A Brief Introduction

First thing's first, my name is Josie, I'm from the UK and believe it or not, I love films. As stereotypical as this introduction may sound, I have always been interested in film; but it has only been over the past year or two that I've started to truly appreciate them as works of art. As a result, one could say I've become somewhat of a filmophile.

As far as the feminist aspect of this blog goes, I would not consider myself a feminist, however, I am intrigued as to why it is that the film industry is so heavily dominated by men and the prejudice associated with female directors, critics, writers, etc. Is it because the film industry is a man's world? Or because men possess the ability to get straight to the point, unlike women? Even, dare I say it: that men are the overall superior gender when it comes to film? It may well be the case that women simply have no interest in pursuing a career in film. In all honesty, like many things in life, I  don't believe there are any straightforward answers.

I suppose in a way, Filmophilic Feminist is my means of experimentation: to see if  a females opinion of film can be regarded as equally as a males. So if by some miracle you are still interested in what I have to say, then be sure to expect frequent posts on films that are floating my boat(or not as the case may be).

Cliché but true
