This is the fifth in a series of ongoing events that forms part of Birds’ Eye View’s Reclaim the Frame project; a mission to bring ever-greater audiences to films by women to build a more balanced film future. We are proud to be a founder venue. This is an exclusive theatrical one-off and your only chance to see this film on the big screen in our cinema and city. Been So Long is a contemporary musical set on the streets of London’s Camden Town. BAFTA® winner Michaela Coel lights up the big screen as dedicated and whip-smart single mum Simone whose encounter with the confident yet secretive lothario Raymond has her head spinning.
The film is followed by a Q&A with director Tinge Krishnan, producers Nadine Marsh-Edwards and Amanda Jenks, and hosted by the curators and agency-for-change Birds’ Eye View’s Mia Bays.
