Dear all *With apologies for cross posting* We are proud to announce a fantastic line up of speakers for our solution-focused two-day international conference bringing together industry practitioners, academics, journalists, political leaders, and students to discuss the role of women working on and off screen. We are very grateful to have Women in Film and TV History Network as one of our sponsors for the 2nd year running. Please join us and spread the word as well as encouraging your students to attend as we have included practical masterclasses, led by female practitioners, on targeted areas such as comedy writing and directing that are woefully underrepresented by women.
