Make More Noise! Suffragettes in Silent Film UK 1899-1917
Wed 14 Feb (80 min)Complementing Sarah Gavron’s ‘Suffragette’ (Thu 15 Feb), this selection of silent films from the BFI National Archive shows how suffragettes were portrayed on the cinema screen while their battles were still being waged on the streets outside.
