Coming Soon
BEV doesn't stop after the festival. Not only will we run training initiatives throughout the year but we continue to bring you diverse screenings and amazing Sound and Silents. First up, we join forces with the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival to present two brilliant screenings. Then, we tour our favourite bits from the festival to Brighton, Bristol, and West London. And finally we bring together a selection of previous commissions as part of a new Birds Eye View season at London’s fabulous new concert venue, Kings Place, in May. We also delve into a hot discussion chaired by Miranda Sawyer to explore the gender gap in music. Panelists include Speech Debelle, Beverley Knight, Rachel Portman, Mira Calix, and Janis Susskind. Lots going on....
