WELCOME

Welcome to the seventh edition of Underwire Festival, our biggest, boldest and most badass edition yet! What began as a small gathering of friendly filmmakers has now grown into a BAFTA recognised five day festival, filled to the brim with incredible shorts made by supremely talented women working across the crafts, the most exciting British feature film debuts and special events to celebrate women making movies.

Underwire continues to celebrate and spotlight the most exciting female talent working in film, and we are very excited to continue growing our feature strand, focused on first-time women directors.

Our training weekender, Wired Women, looks at the crafts behind filmmaking, demystifying skills and providing insight into new opportunities on the horizon.

This year also marks our partnership with New York-based Athena Film Festival, celebrating women and leadership.

A huge thank you to everyone who makes Underwire possible, from the team to our partners to the epic volunteers. This is just the beginning.

Anna Bogutskaya Festival Producer & Programme Director

The Internet Was Made For Women 1 Dec Hackney Picturehouse 21:00 THE SCREENING WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A DISCUSSION WITH THE FILMMAKERS BEHIND THE SERIES RT 100MINS

Why wait for your career to start? Instead of embarking on the painstaking process of charming mainstream commissioners, these filmmakers determined to get straight on with making the shows they wanted to watch. Now with successful web series up and running, they’ll share how they did it, and how to get the money-people to come to you.

Debuts + Discussion 4 Dec Genesis Cinema 16:00

STILL FROM WASP

A director’s vision is a much lauded and hard to define attribute – constantly referred to in reviews and interviews without specifying exactly what it is! Every iconic filmmaker takes a sprawling journey to realise each story, and as we enter their film worlds they invite us to share their perspectives. As we look back on the early short films of celebrated British filmmakers Andrea Arnold, debbie tucker green, Carol Morley, Destiny Ekharaga and Lynne Ramsay, we trace the evolution of their storytelling styles. They have made rules, broken them and created films that alter audiences’ understanding of what is possible on film.

FEATURES My Feral Heart

+ Q&A with director Jane Gull 1 Dec ArtHouse Crouch End 20:30 DIRECTOR JANE GULL SCREENWRITER DUNCAN PAVELING PRODUCER JAMES RUMSEY DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY SUSANNE SALAVATI WITH STEVEN BRANDON, SHANA SWASH, WILL RASTALL, PIXIE LE KNOT UK 2015 83MIN

After the sudden passing of his mother, Luke (Steven Brandon), a determined young man with Down’s Syndrome, is thrown into a statefunded home and stripped of his independence. Initially withdrawing from his new surroundings and its residents, he finds an unexpected ally in outgoing staff member Eve (Shana Swash) who slowly breaks down his resistance to change. With a standout performance from lead Steven Brandon and a strong supporting cast, My Feral Heart is a beautifully realised debut by Underwire alumni, director Jane Gull and cinematographer Susanne Salavati.

The Levelling + Q&A with writer/director Hope Dickson Leach and producer Rachel Robey 2 Dec Genesis Cinema 18:45 DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER HOPE DICKSON LEACH PRODUCER RACHEL ROBEY CO PRODUCER ANNA GRIFFIN WITH ELLIE KENDRICK, DAVID TROUGHTON, JACK HOLDEN UK 2016 83MIN COURTESY OF PECCADILLO PICTURES

Clover (Ellie Kendrick), a veterinary student, is called back to her family’s farm after her beloved brother dies. There she must confront her fractured relationship with her father (David Troughton) who is struggling to keep the family business afloat. Framed against the backdrop of a Somerset farm, Hope Dickson Leach’s debut is an exquisitely layered script that delves deep into fraught family relationships, signalling an exciting new voice in British film.

A portrait of a family slowly falling apart marked by the absence of the mother (Beth Orton) who is plagued by a mysterious illness that is ravishing her mentally and physically.

Her three children, teen Ramona (Sophie Burton), Ewan (James Stuckey) and young Rose (Zamira Fuller) set out to find her and in the process regain their connection to themselves and their father. Making her feature length debut after many acclaimed short films, BAFTAwinner Esther May Campbell’s film is one of arresting beauty and delicate, heart-breaking depth that makes for a stunning big screen experience.

15

STILL FROM THE INCIDENT

Seven Songs for a Long Life + Q&A with director Amy Hardie 3 Dec ArtHouse Crouch End 17:30 DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER AMY HARDIE PRODUCER SONJA HENRICI WITH DORENE ASHER, JIM BROWN, NICOLA MCINALLY UK 2016 83MIN

Amy Hardie’s moving and affectionate portrayal of both patients and staff at the Strathcarron Hospice in Scotland gives a unique insight into how we as humans deal with the finality of life. Encouraged by nurse Mandy Malcomson, the patients and staff use singing as therapy, creating a positive environment as they come to terms with their fate. Hardie’s skill as a director is seen in her ability to balance the lightheartedness with the quiet intimacy, ultimately leading to a beautiful and respectful documentary.

16

The Incident + Q&A with writer/director Jane Linfoot 4 Dec Barbican 14:15 DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER JANE LINFOOT PRODUCER CAROLINE COOPER CHARLES WITH RUTA GEDMINTAS, TOM HUGHES, TASHA CONNOR UK 2015 94MIN

A successful young couple, Annabel (Ruta Gedmintas) and Joe (Tom Hughes), see their sheltered, affluent lifestyle and comfortable relationship unravel when they ignore the plight of a troubled teenage girl (Tasha Connor, in a breakout role). Writer/director Jane Linfoot follows up her BAFTA-nominated short film work with a domestic thriller that challenges its characters to delve deeper into their relationship and themselves, forcing them to examine who they really are.

Red Road 10th Anniversary Screening on 35mm 4 Dec Genesis Cinema 18:30

STILL FROM RED ROAD

DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER ANDREA ARNOLD PRODUCER CARRIE COMFERFORD WITH KATE DICKIE, TONY CURRAN, MARTIN COMPSTON UK 2006 113MIN COURTESY OF VERVE PICTURES

Ten years ago Andrea Arnold made her feature length debut with a film that’s still considered to be one of the finest examples of British cinema. Red Road follows CCTV operator Jackie Morrison (Kate Dickie) who watches over the people in the Red Road estate. She takes no part in life, constantly observing until a man from her past appears on her screen and compels her into action. Presented here on a stunning 35mm print, we celebrate the powerful filmmaking of Andrea Arnold and the enduring impact of Red Road, now more relevant than ever before.
