Slide 3
Here’s what some of our 2022 participants valued about the Lab: “Meeting other women working across the breadth of the film industry in the UK (having all those different ‘roles’ under one roof was really significant) and feeling as though I came away with a new support network.”
“Sea Change is one of the most profound and important experiences I’ve ever had in my professional life…In an industry where we’re all so overstretched and deadline-driven, we’re so programmed not to be able to take the time and space to really think about the important questions raised by the lab. Sea swimming, pilates, walks, meals together, and the living together on Tiree were all completely essential to the experience I had and how powerful it was.”

What to bring?
“It’s not just the feminist focus, nor that it’s set on the beautiful island of Tiree that makes the festival so special. It’s the intimacy. Filmmakers, festival-goers, curators and islanders all share lifts between venues, eat jacket potatoes in the community centre An Talla, and swim together… The word I keep coming back to describe Sea Change is special. It’s rare that you get to spend time in a place that truly welcomes you, no matter your age, experience, gender etc.”
Lara Delmage, SNACK Magazine
“I’m so grateful that my work brings me to amazing places like Tiree and brings such beautiful people into my life! It was very special seeing ‘Cá a nDeachaigh Mé?’ screened alongside the work of so many incredible women…I’ll remember this weekend forever.” Étáin Sweeney, Audio Director and Co-creator of Cá a nDeachaigh Mé
