Since 2017 we’ve been producing packed programmes of important and entertaining film.

Now in its fourth year, the Women Of The Lens Film Festival continues to celebrate the work of established as well as emerging filmmakers. In addition to British stories, the Festival is keen to see representations of Black women, in front of and behind the camera from around the world, in keeping with their aim of throwing a spotlight on developing audience engagement with rarely seen images of Black women and to highlight and celebrate achievement and contribute to the wider discourse around race, diversity and media education.

As well as film screenings, the festival will feature high-impact discussions with professionals that tackle the interests of the industry.
