The Birds Eye View Film Festival is nine days of inspiration and celebration, showcasing the very best work from women filmmakers with over 70 events including screenings, workshops and parties at 7 London venues. See www.birds-eye-view.co.uk/innovation for more info. OVERHEATED SYMPHONYGet started by Making Your Own Film to be a part of this groundbreaking interactive filmmaking project. Working with the theme OVERHEATED make a flick anything up to 4 min long, shooting on your mobile phone, or a digital camera, and upload it to youtube.com before March 2nd with the tag “Overheated Symphony”. We’ll download it, convert it, and pass it on to expert filmmaker/artist & innovator Sarah Turner who will sample the footage into one fiery masterpiece at a LIVE EDIT at the ICA bar on Sunday March 9th, 2pm-8pm. The result will be a unique and magical cinematic symphony. It might be passion, anger, frustration or climate change – it’s up to you!
