The MUFF Society was a feminist community that aimed to celebrate the achievements of women and underrepresented groups in film and television.
We supported an inclusive definition of women and included trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people in it. (H/T)

Reel Girl Talk was produced by Emily Gagne (founder of Cinefilles and co-founder of Spooky B Films).
Reel Girl Talk was a discussion-based screening spinoff of The MUFF Society. In addition to screening films made by and/or about women and other marginalized groups, Reel Girl Talk encouraged critical analysis of these works and the way they present issues these communities are facing. After each Reel Girl Talk screening, women from varying age groups, backgrounds, and experiences were invited to compare and contrast the film they have just seen with their own lives.
