The Camera is Ours: Britain’s Women Documentary Makers: A special programme of archived films curated by the Independent Cinema Office showcasing pioneering female documentary makers of the 1930’s to late sixties. Documentaries include Marion Grierson’s BESIDE THE SEA (1935), Ruby Grierson’s THEY ALSO SERVE (1940), Brigid ‘Budge’ Cooper’s BIRTH-DAY (1945), Kay Mander’s HOME FOR THE PEOPLE (1945) and Sarah Erulkar’s SOMETHING NICE TO EAT (1967). [Please note that: Beside the Seaside and Birth-day include scenes reflecting harmful racist views that were pervasive at the time of their making.]

Filmmaking Workshop with Minttu Mäntynen: 

What does it feel like to come to an island, live on an island, dream about an island or maybe even be an island?

Minttu will be running two filmmaking events throughout the week exploring the beauty and magic of Islands, including a family friendly workshop. Drawing upon images, film and text attendees will work together to produce a shot film. No prior knowledge of filmmaking is needed to attend, just an interest or curiosity about storytelling in moving images.

It will be useful to bring a camera (a smart phone will do!) and, if possible, a voice recorder app.

Screenwriting Masterclass with Eeva Putro: More details coming soon …

More films and events still to be announced …
