Select 2 from the following tasks.

1- Do the Bechdel Test on a short scene from The Apartment and compare to a recent show/film that you have watched recently. What were the differences in results? Why do you think the results were what they were?

2 - The Oscars have had a fair bit of worthy criticism around equality and diversity in the last few years. Using either 2013, 2016 or 2020 - discuss why those events and years raised concerns about the progress of the filmmaking industry and discuss what might be done to have more equality and representation in the film industry.
