These are a four-day event at the Barbican Cinema, entitled ‘Being Ruby Rich <http://www.barbican.org.uk/film/event-detail.asp?ID=19960>‘ (as part of their *2017 Film in Focus* season), sponsored by Film London <http://filmlondon.org.uk/> and co-curated by Club des Femmes <http://www.clubdesfemmes.com/>, a queer-feminist film curating collective, and a one-day symposium at Birkbeck College.
