Birds’ Eye View

Stephen is a Trustee of Birds’ Eye View

Our mission celebrates wider perspectives of the world by bringing ever-greater audiences to films by women.

Birds’ Eye View is a not-for-profit that centres the female perspective in film and campaigns for gender equality in all film spaces. We see ourselves as inclusive – not just for women, but for everyone.

Now in its 18th year, we continue to spotlight and celebrate new and classic films created by women through our #ReclaimTheFrame project (RTF), funded by the BFI Audience Fund, and support women working in film through advocacy, investment, mentoring and events.
