Birds Eye View Film Festival's Interests
General
Inspirational women, brilliant films, wonderful music and new & exciting ways of working with film.
Music
This year we had Mercury Prize nominee Zoe Rahman and BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac playing at our OPENING NIGHT GALA SCREENING.
ELECTRIC LADYLAND - Yes women make music videos too! And just to prove it we screened videos from the best up-and-coming and established UK filmmakers, followed by a fascinating and insightful Q+A with some of these very filmmakers.
For SOUNDS & SILENTS specially commissioned soundtracks were performed by cutting-edge female musicians Errolyn Wallen & Seaming To, to silent films from early women pioneers Germaine Dulac and Maya Deren.
Movies
Docs, shorts, features, animations, dramas... we love it all!
Television
Books
'The Pitch!' - Eileen Quinn & Judy Counihan
Heroes
Jane Campion, Lina Wertmuller, Sofia Coppola (that'll be the only 3 women ever nominated for an Oscar in directing then!), Andrea Arnold (she rocks!!)
And all of our wonderful patrons: Mira Nair, Juliet Stevenson, Joanna Lumley, Anthony Minghella, Mike Figgis, Sarah Radclyffe.
Did you know that only 7% of directors are women? Birds Eye View provide women with the opportunity to change this.
