Training

Alongside all the celebration, Birds Eye View is committed to supporting, inspiring and up-skilling the next generation of women filmmakers. Our training provision falls into two main categories:

BEV Labs

In 2008 we launched the BEV Labs – intensive training programmes to hot-house exceptional female creatives, encouraging the transition from other media into film and resulting in new high quality commercial feature films, from a female perspective, for the international market.

To date there have been three BEV Labs: Last Laugh, Re:Animate & She Writes.
Festival Training & Innovation Workshops

Since 2007 we have offered cutting-edge training and innovation events at the annual BEV Film Festivals, delivered in association with the likes of BAFTA, The Script Factory, Shooting People, National Film and Television School, 01Zero-One and The London Film Academy.

We also invite visiting international directors and screenwriters to deliver masterclasses, recently including Oscar-winner Susanne Bier and American Psycho director Mary Harron.
