Film Club director Em Cooper has collaborated with artist Anna Cady and radio journalist Jenny Cuffe to make 30% (Women and Politics in Sierra Leone), which was chosen as a Vimeo Staff Pick today.
In the film three passionate women tell stories of kidnap, corruption and secret societies as they fight to improve the position of women in politics in Sierra Leone. Oil painted animation and live action present issues of gender and politics as compelling and thought provoking viewing.
Em and Anna will be speaking about the film at the London Feminist Film Festival tonight. 30% was also part of the official selection at Sundance Film Festival 2013.

While not about art, the use of oil-painted animation combined with documentary footage to tell the stories of three women working to change gender inequities in post-conflict Sierra Leone is possibly the most creatively produced film in the festival this year.
