One of the pillar stones of Brighton Rocks International Film Festival is our support of the undersung hero, and who represents that more than female filmmakers..? Whether you are behind or in front of the camera, an all-female cast and crew, or telling a female-led story, we want to see your films.
While there has been progress in recent years, a stark fact remains true: female and gender nonconforming filmmakers continue to be significantly underrepresented in the industry. Here at Rocks we want to change that as much as we can and to showcase the best work you have to offer.
This new category, launched for 2024, will have its own programme and award within the festival in June this year.
Films with an all-female or gender nonconforming cast are eligible, as well as films that have women or gender nonconforming filmmakers in two or more of the following positions: director, producer, writer, cinematographer, editor.
