UnderWire Networking Night for Female Filmmakers

Calling all ladies of the creative industries! UnderWire will be gearing up to host the north’s networking night for female filmmakers. Tickets are £6 from the eventbrite site, or are available on the door at The Black Lion. (Salford, M3 5BZ) 

UnderWire is all about giving a strong platform, a safe space and a community to female filmmakers who are, by and large, a minority within the industry.

UnderWire, the UK’s only short film festival dedicated to showcasing the raw cinematic talents of women, is heading to Manchester. This debut event will include a screening of the 2011 festival winners, an opportunity to network (with a free tipple), and an ‘open mic’ session where local women filmmakers (that includes women working across all the crafts) can screen their shorts, or a work-in-progress, for audience feedback. A safe peer-to-peer network to gain constructive feedback on your latest projects, the Underwire Networking events will provide female filmmakers working across the crafts a meeting point to find new collaborators, start conversations and get creative together. Come along and join UnderWire Co-Directors Gemma Mitchell and Helen Jack and Manchester UnderWire ambassador, Gemma Deerfield,  for a drink and a chat.

UnderWire’s founders Gabriella Apicella and Gemma Mitchell launched the festival in 2010 with the belief that women working in the UK film industry needed more encouragement and a bigger platform for their work.

Tickets are limited – so make sure you don’t miss out on what could be a great opportunity for your career!
