Fly Higher! Festival of Black Women's Film

Following a succesful FLY! Festival of Black Women’s film in May / June we are back for 2 weeks of mesmerizing films and impassioned directors from the UK and Latin America. These screenings are part of Film Feels: Connected, a UK-wide cinema season, supported by the National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network. Explore all films and events at www.filmfeels.co.uk

The full programme and links to the films from Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil will be revealed on the day! During the five-hour event we will watch the films and participate in live talks, Q&A sessions and one creative workshop with special speakers including, Anabel Rodríguez Ríos, Venezuelan filmmaker who premiered in Sundance this year her film Once Upon a Time in Venezuela; Marianela Maldonado, Venezuelan screenwriter and filmmaker; Alejandra Jiménez, Colombian-British filmmaker specialist in animation; and Dr Deborah Martin, specialist in Latin American cinema, particularly interested in questions of gender, sexuality, childhood, touch and embodiment in cinema.

All films shown at the festival are in the public domain. However, we welcome donations to cover speakers' and workshop facilitators' fees and cordination expenses. Suggested contribution is £5. We are very grateful for your support.
