Celebrating a century of women film makers, the BEV film festival opened on the 100th International Women’s Day. It’s about being a ‘bird’ film maker but the breadth and diversity of theme and form in the programme means this is no female domain.
Some programme highlights:
•Documentaries covering Mills and Boon, the commercialization of the female suicide bombers
•A Bloody Women strand focusing on women’s contribution to gothic and horror.
•A special programme looks at films made by women from developing countries, culminating in an Oxfam Gala screening on Sunday.
•An award winning biopic of Rosa Luxemburg is notable in the schedule of feature films, which includes 5 debuts. You can also expect nuns, vampires, Black Panthers, pioneers of the American midwest, an Arabic artist in post 9/11 NYC, some off-beat comedy, cycles of violence and sexual awakenings.
•Shorts from home and abroad, ‘Sounds and Silents‘ events bringing new musical scores to classic silent films
•Two ‘bring a baby’ screenings mean mums won’t be excluded; one at Kensal Rise Lexi and another at the Rio, Dalston
•Looking at the commercial end of film making, there are 2 showcase sessions of film from the worlds of fashion and music respectively.
•This Saturday sees Little White Lies host the BEV festival party on a twisted ‘bloody women’ theme with live music.
Even once the festival is finished, BFI Southbank continue the celebrations with a whole month’s retrospective putting “wilful and heroic female leads” in the frame, with “What A Woman’s Gotta Do.”
The BEV Film Festival runs from 8-17 March, 2011 at ICA and BFI Southbank.
