This is just getting flipping ridiculous now. Munroe has made one very recent, very shoddy documentary.

Thrilled to be opening the @BFI #WomanWithAMovieCamera Summit to talk about feminism, power and culture.

Lots of people speaking out on Twitter. They aren't holding back now. The backlash will only grow.

I know this made me angry too. They’ve ‘made’ 1 documentary that was basically being followed round by a camera crew and talking about themselves and are the KEYNOTE interview?! This is just provocation isn’t it? Not against their involvement but just their centering - it’s called Women with a Movie Camera FGS! Alienate your female audience why don’t you.

I guess they know a lot about power...

Most of the replies to the BFI are not impressed.
