Abstract

Bournemouth based ciné-club Crystal Productions (1931–1935) provided a flourishing creative ecosystem for aspiring amateur filmmakers, women among them. However, women’s labour has been subsumed into the patriarchal legacy of the club. This re-examination demonstrates how women’s film labour can be more effectively recognised through a transmedial approach, amplifying an alternative (feminist) narrative.
