The world’s leading podcast about women in film announced its third annual Girls On Film Awards, which will take place on 20 February 2024 and, due to popular demand, will move to a bigger venue, sponsors-in-kind Regent Street Cinema. The awards, co-hosted by Girls On Film host Anna Smith and Hedda Archbold will reward excellence in the field of diversity, inclusion and the representation of women and people of marginalised genders with a particular focus on celebrating the representation of complex women on screen.
The Girls On Film Awards are awarded with a difference. Girls On Film wants to recognise the collaborative nature of the work of women in an industry where individuals are so often pitted against each other and so don’t have a ‘Performance Award’ for an individual. Equally, the awards purposefully leave out the term ‘best’, as they aim to highlight exceptional work in a way that differs from the hierarchical structure of the screen industries.
2024 will also see the Girls On Film Awards launch a new Costume Design category and last year’s Diversity Badge of Honour will be renamed Activist Impact Award, as that more accurately describes what the award honours with this category.
Girls On Film applauds and champions all women-led, women-focused films. Previous winners include Composer: Hildur Guðnadóttir for Women Talking and Tár, Cinematographer: Ari Wegner ASC for The Wonder and The Power of the Dog, Feminist Superhero: Viola Davis and Mia Bays and Female Orgasm sponsored by Intimacy on Set: Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, Emma Thompson (with Daryl McCormack) and I’m Your Man, Maren Eggert (with Dan Stevens).
