Screen Bandita co-curated the film sector of the programme for the Feminist Freeschool Festival that took place in Edinburgh between the 17th- 24th April 2009. The festival's remit was to offer a week of free workshops, discussion spaces, film screenings and music that celebrate and empower women.

There were three diverse and exciting screenings held at the A.C.E Centre in Leith. The screenings aimed to show some politically engaged pieces, work by a range of contemporary underground filmmakers as well as a showcase of two pioneering female practitioners: cultural adventurer Maya Deren and shadow animator Lotte Reineger. Most screenings will also incorporate discussions and / or live music.
