underwire festival

08.11.2013 | Blog , Film | BY:

This month sees the fourth annual UnderWire Festival take place in Hackney.

UnderWire’s founders  launched the festival in 2010 with the belief that women working in the UK film industry needed more encouragement and a bigger platform for their work. Their belief is that women still make up a small proportion of film creatives, and their aim with Underwire is to recognise the best short work made by women across a range of crafts – from director to cinematographer; screenwriter to editor. Their team believes that a more gender balanced industry will benefit everyone by creating a diversity of perspectives, stories and experiences for audiences. Bringing together film and feminism, the four day event takes place from the 19-23 November. You can buy your tickets and find out more here: underwirefestival.com
