WOMEN ALL OVER THE BIG SCREEN!

Film is the most powerful medium of our age yet only 7% of all directors are female. In November a unique film festival sets out to improve that situation.

The annual Beyond Tv international film festival in Swansea is dedicating an entire evening to local directors and showing international films made by female directors.

Festival coordinator D Murphy said today
“Beyond TV will be a chance to meet local women directors and see some great short films. We also have a Q+A with the Newport director of award-winning film “Sisters-in-Law”, a story of two female judges who dispense wisdom, wisecracks & justice in Cameroon.”

The festival will host the premier of Lesbian Civilisation. The film documents the first year of Civil Partnerships in the UK and asks crucial questions about equality.


Notes to editors
Beyond Tv will be hosted at the Dylan Thomas Centre Swansea from November 27- December 2

Beyond Wo(men) will be hosted Tuesday 28th November at 7pm

Lesbian Civilisation is will be screened at Monkey Café, 13 Castle Square, Swansea on Friday 2nd December at 9pm.

To book tickets call 01792 463980 £4(£3 concessions)

For interviews, photos, further details call Helen on 01792 455900 / 07970 161886

I'm going to be pedantic

It sounds like a great festival & I've heard extremely good things about Sisters in Law.

But - to be really pedantic - I don't think it's accurate to call it "unique".

There are already other UK film festivals dedicated to women directors, such as the excellent Birds' Eye View festivals in London.

Maybe your one's unique for Wales, though.

And the more film festivals showcasing women directors the better.

Best of luck with it & apologies for my pedantry...

Is any moderator going to hide these violent misogynistic comments?
