Directed by Women is only 2 days away and I hope that all SQ readers are going to participate in some way. Navigating the waters of women directed films can be a stressful process on Netflix, because there’s no specific category for it, so here I’ve compiled a list of Directed by Women viewing possibilities that are currently streaming on Netflix UK. For anyone in the US, with a much, much larger selection of films, Film Fatales compiled this huge list for you. This list is not every film on Netflix UK, but a pretty large selection.

Chloe Leeson is the founder of Screenqueens. She is 20 and from the north of England (the proper north). She believes Harmony Korine is the future and is pretty sure she coined the term ‘selfie central’. She doesn’t like Pina Coladas or getting caught in the rain but she does like Ezra Miller a whole lot. Her favourite films are Into The Wild, The Beach and Lords of Dogtown. But DON’T talk to her about Paranormal Activity. She rants about cinema screenings @kawaiigoff.
