Festival Director

30000

Birds Eye View began in 2002 as a short film event, and was quickly led by founder Rachel Millward to become an international film festival celebrating women filmmakers in 2005. Since then the Festival has grown in audience from 2,000 to 12,000, premiered important, high profile films including Susanne Bier's In A Better World and Drew Barrymore's Whip It, consistently attracted wide national press coverage across media and enjoyed the involvement of VIPs from Jerry Hall to Zoe Wanamaker.

This is an exciting moment for Birds Eye View, and a hugely rewarding and challenging opportunity for the right candidate. It is a chance to build on the phenomenal success of Birds Eye View to date, leading the Festival and the organisation into another decade of celebration, artistic excellence, national and international profile and continued audience development.

Rachel Millward has been the sole Festival Director to date, leading on both fundraising and creative direction. A Development Manager is also being recruited at this time, to lead on fundraising for the 2013 Festival, thus the organisation is building capacity, and the new Festival Directorʼs role will be primarily creative and strategic. Rachel will remain involved in the Festival as a non executive Director, offering active support of the new Festival Director as appropriate.

Salary: £30-35k p.a. depending on experience. This is a full time position.
