The first time I spied an issue of Filmme Fatales, a zine about feminism and film, I knew I had stumbled upon something special, something I would most certainly feel a kinship for. The writing is witty and fresh and, more than anything, accessible. As a bright-eyed, impressionable film school student, I often found film theory daunting and hard to understand. Filmme Fatales reminds me why I love movies, why I watch movies, and why I continue to write about movies. Pieces about Reality Bites or an interview with Gillian Robespierre might be sandwiched between art highlighting Kirsten Dunst’s career. This month MJ salutes Brodie Lancaster, the woman who makes each issue of Filmme Fatales come alive in beautiful, vibrant fashion.
