For Women's History Month, we'll be celebrating some of our favourite women in film.

Vera Chytilová’s second feature is landmark example of the Czech New Wave intersecting with feminist cinema.

Immediately banned by the Czech government upon its release, this surrealist comedy chronicles the anarchic misadventures of two bored young women, Marie I (Jitka Cerhová) and Marie II (Ivana Karbanová) who set out to prank the patriarchy that controls the world they live in. Seeking pleasure and debauchery, they run rampant through banquet halls and nightclubs, staging farcical scenes of social rebellion, ripping off older men, and feasting on lavish meals. But what is all of this mischief leading to?

"Daisies" is an absurdist "Duck Soup"-style laugh riot that also happens to be a milestone of psychedelic ?’60s filmmaking as well as one of the 100 greatest comedies of all time according to the BBC.

Don't miss this rare chance to see it on the big screen!
