“F-rated” label
To be stamped “F-rated”, a label created in 2014 by the Bath Festival in England, films must meet one of these three criteria:
- Have been directed by a woman*
- Have been written by a woman*
- Have staged substantial female* characters
The F-rating is applied to films by cinemas and film festivals giving moviegoers an easily identifiable label so they can choose films that fairly represent women* on screen and behind the camera. Highlighting these films sends a clear message to distributors, producers and funders that women* can and should have more than just a supporting role within the industry.
