Belfast Film Festival is delighted to be honouring Terence with our Outstanding Contribution to Cinema award. Programme highlights include Stephen Frears’ hilarious new feature starring Hugh Grant with Meryl Streep as ‘Florence Foster Jenkins’; the Oscar-nominated must-see Turkish film ‘Mustang’; a 6 hour marathon watch with ‘Arabian Nights’, the mastery of Alan Clarke; the brilliant Icelandic tale ‘Virgin Mountain’, and the 2016 Oscar Winner Son of Saul.

  • Women in the International Film Industry Policy, Practice and Power
    Women in the International Film Industry Policy, Practice and Power Edited by Susan Liddy Women in the International Film Industry “Being the Director of a program whose goal is to bring more female voices and female-focused stories into mainstream media, this book is sorely needed. My students are always bemoaning how little women are mentioned in the major texts of screenwriting history that they have used in their coursework and they long for books like this that represent the world they will enter and give them the support to make the changes necessary for all artists to succeed at telling a range of stories.” —Rosanne Welch, Executive Director, Stephens College MFA in TV and Screenwriting “This is an important collection that helps us to think about and navigate the film industry and its ongoing inequalities. It has international scope, showcasing a range of places, policies and perspectives. And most crucially, it centres the voices and stories of women, both on- and off-screen.” —Bridget Conor, Senior Lecturer in Culture, Media and Creative Industries, King’s College London “This project couldn’t be more timely. Liddy’s collection of essays on women in film is geographically all-encompassing, with contributions from across Europe as well as Australia, New Zealand, Nigeria and the United States. Taken together, they reveal how much we hold in common when it comes to addressing gender inequalities. Key questions emerge around the effectiveness of quotas, access to finance, career sustainability, and the power of role models. Most importantly, the writing style is uniformly accessible; arguments are backed up with data, and the message is clear—we can make it happen and we must.” —Ruth Barton, Head of School of Creative Arts, Trinity College Dublin “Women in the International Film Industry: Policy, Practice and Power makes an important contribution to our understanding of the scope and scale of gender inequality in the global film industry in the twenty-first century.
