Film Hub Scotland: Her Century

Film Hub Scotland Member Support

Jul 2019 - March 2020

Contracted by Film Hub Scotland to support their member cinemas across Scotland to present and promote a new archive touring programme - Her Century.

Scotland’s women lived through major social change in the twentieth century, challenging their roles in society and fighting for equality; at work and at home, classroom to croft, girlhood to motherhood. Her Century uncovers their stories and gives platform to their voices in a timely collection of archive film curated by Scotland’s National Moving Image Archive and guaranteed to spark debate.

As part of the BFI's Film Audience Network, Film Hub Scotland are one of eight Hubs set up across the UK to extend film choice, increase and broaden film audiences, and enhance opportunities for audiences to engage with and learn about film.

My role is to use my experience presenting archive film to support venues to programme relevant activity around the screenings - guests, commissioning new writing from young female writers in response to the films - and establishing a set of strong marketing assets for venues to use in promoting each of their events.
