Bird’s Eye View 2010 - a festival celebrating women filmmakers - kicks off this Thursday at various venues around London. The sixth Bird's Eye View festival, which continues until 12 March, comes at a particularly auspicious time for female filmmakers as Kathryn Bigelow, only the fourth woman to be nominated for an Academy Award, is now the bookies’ favourite to win best director for The Hurt Locker at this Sunday’s ceremony in Los Angeles.

The festival will be showing features, short films and documentaries, and there will also be workshops. Among the highlights are Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, Whip It, starring Ellen Page; a masterclass from Danish director Susanne Bier; and a retrospective of iconic blondes on film, Blonde Crazy.
