Birds Eye View Film Festival.BIRDS EYE VIEW is a unique platform for women filmmakers. Backed by leading lights of the film industry, Birds Eye View is a positive response to the fact that women make up only 7% directors and 12% writers in what is the most powerful medium in the world. We are concerned with women’s creative vision in film, and want to see more of it. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--> In 2005 we launched a major UK women’s film festival. This has been a storming success, proving the wealth of talent and potential that women bring to film. We believe that it is vital to the health and diversity of UK film that we raise role models, offer support and provide a forum for women in the industry, whilst encouraging the next generation to break new ground. As well as inspiring more women to write and direct their own work, we are also educating audiences about the importance of diversity in film, and through our extensive press & publicity and accessible events, we are widening the audiences for women-made films and world cinema.
