4 weeks to the fest and a chance to survey the view. What's new? Well, it's the first time BEV's shown a retrospective, and we've got 2. Both side-splittingly funny & with added extras like real live comediennes (Jo Brand, Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson)) & amazing live music. It's also the first time we've created an innovation strand, and now there's women in gaming, groundbreaking interactive mobile phone projects, the sparkling new genre of fashion films with Bella Freud, cutting edge music videos with Miranda Sawyer and fine artists making opera, Late at Tate Britain. *Plus, going deeper into East London than we've dared to tread before, BEV teams up with Girlcore & the Laundrettas for a special Whitechapel Late Night with all girl-band line up inc Peggy Sue and the Pirates (just back from tour with Kate Nash).
But I've not mentioned any movies yet! I guess that's the beauty of a festival. This is a chance to see some of the year's very best women-made cinema, but it's also a chance to get together for giggles, to meet filmmakers with a piece of cake, and to be inspired by some phenomenal women from all over the world...
With 70+ events this year (yikes!) it's worth taking some time to have a thorough look through this site - especially the festival page www.birds-eye-view.co.uk/festival.htm
There's so much fantastic film, and the programme's so diverse that i'll bet the office pet you'll find something you'll love.
Keep an eye on this blog over the next few weeks too. We'll bring you some inside gossip, an interview or two, tell you about our personal festival favourites... and we're keen to hear what you have to say, too.
More soon,
Rach xx
