Ep 125: Festival Ep: Evolution Mallorca’s Sandra Lipski & London Film Festival’s Tricia Tuttle

In this episode we focus on two female-run film festivals coming up in October: the Evolution Mallorca International Film Festival and the BFI London Film Festival. Anna Smith speaks to Sandra Lipski, founder and director of EMIFF, and Tricia Tuttle, director of festivals at the BFI and director of the LFF about what is coming up. The festivals share not only a female focus with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion, but unlike some film fests, they are open to audiences, rather than industry only. Girls On Film will be hosting a live event at EMIFF on Women in Leadership so if you fancy a week in Mallorca watching and discussing films, do join us there! The BFI London Film Festival runs from 5-16th October 2022 - select titles are showing around the UK For more details see the LFF website, here: https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/lff/Online/default.asp The Evolution Mallorca International Film Festival runs from 26th October to November 1st 2022.
