This March saw the 3rd Birds Eye View Film Festival - by far our biggest yet. The festival has really taken off, with 6 days of sell out screenings, inspiring Q&A's with women directors from all around the world, masterclasses, special cross-arts events, parties, networking and exciting training programmes for emerging talent across 6 major London film venues.

SEE HIGHLIGHTS BELOW:

 

            

  • Films by women from developing countries   a special programme of films made by women in developing countries. From innovative animation to hard-hitting documentary - this is a fascinating glimpse of diverse talent we rarely get to see... supported by ActionAid.

             

             

  • International Documentaries
    Moving, thought-provoking and inspirational films. A cinematically stunning portrait of adults with learning difficulties, the journey of the Dixie Chicks in the wake of their anti-Bush comments, personal insights into the Armenian Genocide and its legacy, the journey of an Iranian transsexual adopting the veil and so much more!

         

  • Workshops & Masterclasses
    A series of training classes for emerging women filmmakers, including writing, cinematography, distribution and networking workshops.
  • Opening Night Gala: International Women's Day: NFT
    International Women's Day celebration introduced by Jerry Hall . Enjoy a live performance from Mercury Prize Nominee Zoe Rahman , a screening of shorts from the best new international talent and a party in the NFT Filmcafe. With tunes courtesy of mash- up queen and BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac , this event promises to be a great taster for the festival delights to come.
  • Fine art to film Exploring the often crossed boundary between the art forms with some of the UK's leading filmmaker-artists.
