Take 127 short films, mix in a bucket load of female film making talent, spread it over five days, and you’ve got Underwire Festival 2017.

It’s BAFTA recognised and is supported by industry leader organisations and sponsors and most importantly, it’s growing year on year.

Doing it for the girls : Farley judge Best Production Design at the Underwire Festival

The much coveted Underwire Festival 2016 award

This past Saturday I had the great pleasure in presenting the award for Best Production Design at the Underwire Festival. The event took place at the achingly cool Genesis Cinema on Mile End Road and brought together all of the female filmmakers and their crew, friends, family and fellow industry professionals to celebrate their work and award the winner in each category. There were awards from everything from Best Animation, Best Writer and Best Director but the one that we are very proud to sponsor was the Production Design award.
