Showcase of new work by international women filmmakers to end after 10 years due to financial pressures.
The Birds Eye View Film Festival will cease from this year after nine annual editions. Over a decade of activity, the showcase of films by international women directors included the UK premieres of features from Drew Barrymore (Whip It), Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture) and Kim Longinotto (Sisters In Law) among others.
The festival, which ran in April, also provided development to more than 30 female screenwriters through three Labs and commissioned over 30 female musicians through Sound & Silents to compose and perform new live scores to silent films celebrating the contribution of pioneer women filmmakers from the beginning of cinema.
Founder Rachel Millward said financial pressures had led to the demise of the festival. “I am proud that the Birds Eye View Film Festival has been such a dynamic part of the conversation around women filmmakers over the last decade,” said Millward...

Film is sometimes like music. There is a certain scene which is considered cool at a certain time, and a time and place which is a hotbed of creative energy. Musically, it currently resides in New York, but film-wise is perhaps more open to debate. Unlike music, film cannot react instantly to social changes. It take years to write, produce, and release a picture, and that's with a major studio release.
But every so often, a region will produce a string of filmmakers and create a buzz about it, one which inevitably becomes noticed by Hollywood. So, what's been hip in recent years?

British documentary filmmaker Kim Longinotto’s “Pink Saris” will play at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival. The special thing about this film is that it chronicles the gulabi gang of Uttar Pradesh led by Sampat Pal Devi, that helps dalit women fight violence. The acclaimed director’s love for stories of change and women empowerment is well known. An alumnus of England’s National Film School, her documentaries like “Rough Aunties” and “A Peabody Award for Sisters in Law” have won numerous awards. Nandita Dutta gets in touch with her to know more about “Pink Saris” and beyond…

After all, a main reason why a lovely site such as Den Of Geek exists is to draw disparate elements (that's you and me) and give them a shared home.

She discusses her latest, award-winning documentary, about women in South Africa fighting for abused children
Kim Longinotto is in love. Not with just one person. And not in a sexual way. But she definitely loves the sound recordist on her latest film, the co-director she collaborated with in Iran, the anti-female-circumcision activist she worked with on The Day I Will Never Forget, all the teachers who so patiently held and calmed and reassured the damaged, excluded children of the Mulberry Bush school in her film Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go. She loves those damaged children too: Alex, the eight-year-old who tells his teacher he's going to kick her in the cunt; Michael, the 12-year-old who says there are "too many fucking arseholes in this fucking class". Longinotto's personality is like a long, warm bath. She loves almost everyone.
