COMEDY FILM GALA
BFI SOUTHBANK NFT 1
6:45 - 8:30PM Sunday 9 March
Hosted by acclaimed comedienne Jo Brand, with special guests including Michelle Gomez (Green Wing) and Jessica Hynes (née Stevenson - Spaced), plus live music from leading jazz musicians Nikki Yeoh and Serafina Steer, this special event launches Birds Eye View's hunt for new female comedy filmmaking talent in the UK.
A selection of side-splitting shorts includes riotous early comedies directed by Gaumont pioneer Alice Guy (L’Hiérarchie dans l’amour; Madame à des envies; Le Frotteur). Mabel Normand, one of cinema’s first superstars, plays a bandit in Should Men Walk Home?, while the glorious child star Baby Peggy goes undercover to get the perfect scoop in The Kid Reporter, and rubber-faced Florence Turner excels as star and director of Daisy Doodad’s Dial.
Serafina Steer plays harps keyboards and vocals. She is a classically trained musician from London who has focused on songwriting and production. Her debut album `cheap demo bad science` came out last year. Public Spirited EP will come out in April to coincide with her first Japanese tour.
Nikki
Yeoh is a London based jazz pianist, composer and .keyboard
player. She has worked with Courtney Pine, Oxford New Chapel Boys
Choir, Jools Holland, The Roots, Sir George Martin, Eddie Harris, JoAnna
MacGregor and Piano circus among others.
