Reclaim The Frame: Hyde Park Picture House, Leeds

Posted on 18th April 2019

We are pleased to spread the word about a really exciting local film campaign and opportunity.

Birds Eye View Films are currently working on their Reclaim the Frame campaign to show amazing films by female directors. They are working specifically with the Hyde Park Picture House and want to get in touch with people across Leeds for the upcoming films.

They’re on the look out for influencers – local individuals who want to be involved in promoting the films and the campaign to local communities and networks. Being an influencer comes with lots of perks such as a free subscription to the film website MUBI, free film tickets etc. Can you help?

You can read more about this and sign up here: http://bit.ly/ReclaimTheFrame

The first film being shown is Styx on Friday 26th April at 6:15pm. Click here for more details.
