Wonderful last night of our Beyond the Frame: Women Filmmakers & their Archives season, BFI. We watched Bride & Prejudice with a lively audience then Gurinder Chadha Q&A, ending the night with Gurinder meeting artists Athen & Nina & seeing their Bend It installation. @womensscreenwork.bsky.social

Artist duo, Athen & Nina, were commissioned by BFI Screencraft and supported by @womensscreenwork.bsky.social to respond to Bend It Like Beckham materials in the Gurinder Chadha Collection. If near Southbank, do take a look at their installation. Until 1st Feb.
