Sea Change Connect: Online Programme
Fostering Connection, Inspiration & Change in UK Film
Sea Change Connect aims to strengthen the Sea Change network, sustain alumni relationships and integrate new voices.
Sharing actionable insights and addressing industry challenges with practical solutions.
We will amplify women’s voices, platform diverse role models, from emerging talent to leaders such as Catharine Des Forges and Jeanie Finlay and connect with international festivals, like the wonderful Tricky Women in Vienna and St John’s International Women’s Festival, in Newfoundland, Canada.
The Sea Change Connect programme will offer a warm welcome, meeting you wherever you might be, celebrating women behind the camera by offering year-round support and a warm welcome beaming out from the Isle of Tiree and beyond!
