Bird's Eye View : Festival 2006: Part II

1st-4th June 2006 at the Apollo West End, Lower Regents Street

Film is the most powerful medium in the world, but only 7% of directors are women. In the luxury of the Apollo West End, Birds Eye View brings you a feast of outstanding short and feature films from women across the globe.

3 stunning programmes of short films - a showcase of the most outstanding new talent from around the globe: drama, animation, comedy.

3 feature premieres:

  • Kiss Me Not On The Eyes (Dunia):
    a visually stunning and highly sensual exploration of Arab culture;
  • Going Private (Nachbeben):
    the fall from grace of a Swiss banker, as a barbeque with colleagues and wives disintegrates into blackmail, infidelity and intrigue;
  • Beau Brummell (A Charming Man):
    homoeroticism and sycophantism abound in this fascinating tale of the original Dandy, starring James Purefoy.

PLUS:

  • Live comedy and film event 'Ladies who Laugh' in association with comedy experts Funny Women, starring Shazia Mira, Debra Jane Appleby and Ayesha Hazarika. Masterclass with Martha Fiennes.
  • Bring a Baby & kids screenings.
  • Women cinematographers & commercials directors.
  • Crazy kitsch 90s erotica (!).
All critiqued and discussed at Birds Eye Review with journo-broadcasters Miranda Sawyer, Natasha Walter and Bonnie Greer.
