The landmark feminist film of 1991, ‘Thelma and Louise’, is coming out of storage for two Perthshire showings in support of 16 Days of Activism, a worldwide campaign to end violence against women and girls.

The partnership is now five-years-old, and it is an umbrella organisation covering a range of others who all aim to protect, advise, and support women or girls who have been subjected to sexual violence or domestic abuse.

“Given that context, a retrospective of the 1991 landmark feminist film, Thelma and Louise is a completely timely and ideal choice for our screening,” said PFS chair, Jill Moodie.

After the film there will be some time for a discussion with the audience. All tickets will cost a flat rate of £4 and they can be obtained from the Horsecross box offices.

The Birks Cinema in Aberfeldy will give Highland Perthshire residents a chance to watch the film the following night, Friday 29 at 6pm and time has been left at the end for representatives of RASAC P&K to initiate a discussion of the gender issues the movie raises.
