Brodie Lancaster's Filmme Fatales takes zines to the big screen.
Filmme Fatales, a zine edited by Brodie Lancaster, focuses on the intersection of feminism and film. The fifth issue of the zine explores various aspects of consuming film with essays ranging from reasons why Anne Hathaway is undeserving of hate to a journalist’s diary of Cannes. The combination of dynamic double-page photograph spreads, relevant illustrations, and compelling writing combine to form the kind of zine that I have no interest in putting down from the moment I tear it from the envelope.

The zine also features four interviews with women who have various roles in the film industry, from Janet Pierson, the Head of SXSW film to Linda Lichter, an entertainment lawyer. The range provided allows for a wide overview of the film, all containing well-thought-out questions posed to intelligent, successful women. This zine examines movies I haven’t previously heard of, and allows me to understand and appreciate movies that I've long known. Reading Filmme Fatales feels like speaking with a new friend about a movie that you've forgotten about, and feeling a renewed admiration for the film.
