THE FEMALE LENS: An Illuminatrix Showcase
18:30 Mon 14 Jan 2019
With women making up less than 7% of cinematographers in the UK, female DoP collective illuminatrix was founded in 2016 as a go-to resource to discover working women in the field quickly and easily, no excuses.
We turn focus to this chronic underrepresentation and the brilliant women of the illuminatrix roster, looking to the resulting female gaze when women helm the camera in an eclectic cross section of shorts. Featuring a healthy handful of festival alumni from across the years, illuminatrix and their DoPs will join us post-screening in Q&A. Join us for a post-screening Q&A featuring Kate Reid, Gabi Norland, Emma Dalesman, Mary Farbrother and Neus Ollé-Soronellas. 78’
Please join us afterwards in the Regent Street Cinema bar to further toast the talent with drinks at the bar kindly provided by Panalux, Panavision and Direct Digital.
