A new feminist¹ film classification, f-rated film, is to be used at this year's Bath Film Festival to highlight the lack of women working in the movie industry.

 

今年的巴斯电影节期间将出现一个新的电影分级类别——女权主义级别电影（或称F级电影），意在凸显电影行业中女性工作者缺乏的现状。

 

Organizers believe it is the first UK festival to use the "F-rating" which will go to 17 of the 42 films being shown.

 

组织方认为这是英国首个使用女权主义级别的电影节，参展的42部影片中将有17部归入此类。

 

Festival producer Holly² Tarquini said she hoped it would create debate and equal representation in film.

 

电影节制作人霍利·塔库尼表示，她希望这一举动能够引发争论并带来电影行业中男女平等参与的结果。

 

Ms Tarquini said: "If our films have a female director, a female lead who is not simply there to support the male lead, or are specifically about women then they will receive an F-Rated stamp of approval."

 

塔库尼女士说：“如果电影导演为女性，影片中的女主角不是男主角的陪衬，或者影片是专门有关女性的主题，那么这样的影片就可以定为F级。”
