Fly Higher! Festival of Black Women’s Film

Following a succesful FLY! Festival of Black Women’s film in May / June we are back for 2 weeks of mesmerizing films and impassioned directors from the UK and Latin America. These screenings are part of Film Feels: Connected, a UK-wide cinema season, supported by the National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network. Explore all films and events at www.filmfeels.co.uk

The full programme and links to the films will be shared at the festival – where we will watch films, participate in live talks, Q&A sessions and one creative workshop. Invited guest speakers include, Marianela Maldonado, Venezuelan screenwriter and filmmaker; Alejandra Jiménez, Colombian-British animation filmmaker and Dr Deborah Martin, specialist in Latin American cinema, with an interest in representations of gender, sexuality, childhood in cinema.

All films shown at the festival are in the public domain. However, we welcome donations to cover speakers’ and workshop facilitators’ fees and cordination expenses. Suggested contribution is £5. We are very grateful for your support.
