Empowering through knowledge and celebration
The Proposition
Women Of The Lens Film Festival is a growing platform dedicated to showcasing British Black women first and foremost in the UK industries. We’re the first festival to focus on this demographic of the UK industry. We receive international attention from companies seeking British audiences and outlets.
We’ve attracting experienced industry professionals who’re engaged in our events to network and share knowledge. Our uniquely curated content brings in independent productions with varied stories that many audiences wouldn’t ordinarily see, engaging consistently with our content.
Our main event occurs annually in November in the run up to the gift giving season. As such the Festival presents unique events and subsequent branding opportunities.
Whether you’re looking to put your product or services front and centre of our audiences, or you’re looking to collaborate on an exciting project at elements of our festival, we’re keen to hear from you.

Why Support Us
“…Showcasing new and diverse work has never been more important. Festivals tend to be where the work isn’t as censored. People can make bold political statements and be brave in their filmmaking…”
Lucy Rose Wilson-Green, director; The Sycamore Gap – 2018 programme
“…I wanted to focus on women in the film to challenge perceptions and stereotypes. I feel today as a society we are often categorised in a particular box and are moulded by the media to act or be a certain way. I wanted to make a film which breaks that mould and to challenge and make people think and to feel something and be taken on an emotional journey no matter what gender, race or background you are…”
Robert Bertrand, director; Morning Glory – 2017 programme
“…This project was crafted to bring light and love to the issue. It attempts to widen our concept of success and beauty. Women of colour have kept silent in the work place and at large, in fear of loosing jobs and opportunities. I hope that this project opens all of our minds to be more aware of the world around us and allow us to celebrate and appreciate different cultures as opposed to try to make them fit the majority…”
Jeffrey Emile, director; I Am The Black Woman – 2017 programme
