Since our debut in November 2017, Women Of The Lens Film Festival CIC is a live festival of film programming. UK-based, it was created to celebrate and highlight the achievements of Black women in the film industries. As well as British women, we are very proud to regularly welcome and screen productions from all over the world!
This platform was created because the underrepresentation of Black women in the creative industries remains stubbornly low. We want to reveal the complexity, diversity and multiplicities of women, which is ordinarily overlooked in the conventional media-sphere. We want to introduce wider audiences to human stories with varied narratives that move beyond the common tropes reserved for Black women in typical media representations.
At Women Of The Lens, we want to create a space, which attracts industry professionals and those who have vested interests outside of the industry that build reciprocal relationships and nurtures and builds careers. We want to share knowledge which signposts opportunities and develops ideas.
Whilst our stories are by, of and for Black women, we sincerely welcome all people who will support the ethos and spirit of Women Of The Lens through their own work.
