In 2018, Tracey Francis of WIFSE15 and Kyna Morgan of this website, wrote a zine entitled Meshes (designed by Tracey) to discuss film, polyvisual representations, visual culture, and more, then recorded a short-run podcast by the same name in 2021-2022. We named it after the avant-garde short film Meshes (1943) by Maya Deren, essential viewing for any film student. During the first pandemic lockdown in the UK in 2020, we chatted almost weekly over that summer about a film or two that we'd both watched (and included the groundbreaking British television series 'I May Destroy You' by Michaela Coel). The podcast followed on naturally from the zine and our lockdown film chats. While our zine was 'notes on', our podcast was 'rambles about', and we covered a range of short films, some features, and a variety of stories. Also, nearly all films were directed by women and about women.
