Bluestocking Film Series is an exclusive annual showcase for provocative, well-produced films that feature complex female protagonists driving the narrative and leading the action. The only film event in the world to require female protagonists, submissions must also pass the Bechdel-Wallace Test (2 or more women characters who speak to each other about something other than men).

The Bluestocking is the first US film event to receive Sweden’s A-Rating (which informs consumers whether films pass the test). We believe female characters deserve to be portrayed with just as much complexity as their male counterparts. We also believe that audiences love a good story no matter what the lead character's gender is.

The Bluestocking Film Series celebrates and promotes talented, emerging filmmakers who take the creative risk of placing female protagonists front and center and introduces audiences to those who are bound to influence the future of filmed entertainment.
