Quote:
"The films of Kay Armatage illustrate precisely how developments in feminist theory have a direct bearing on practice. Generally, there is a direct correlation between current developments in theory and Armatage's work. Nevertheless, her films do not fit into the category of films designated 'theory films' which had such a tremendous influence in the late Seventies. The range and diversity of Armatage's output make it possible to pinpoint influences—her films often embody the preoccupations of the day."
