Welcome to the Little Venice Film Festival: Girls in Film screenings! Join us at the BBC Maida Vale Studios for a celebration of female talent in the film industry. This in-person event will showcase a selection of films created by and featuring women. Get ready to be inspired by powerful stories and unique perspectives brought to life on the big screen. Don't miss this opportunity to support and uplift women in film. There will be Q and As and an after screening networking opportunity, too.
Below is the schedule for the day. For your well-being we want to inform you in advance that some films contain themes of mental health, alcoholism, drug addiction and grief. If any of these themes might impact you, we wanted to let you know in advance.
We are looking forward to celebrating female directors with you at this amazing day at this iconic location.
