TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles incorporated 31/07/2003 as amended by special resolution(s) dated 21/06/2004 as amended by certificate of incorporation on change of name dated 11/06/2002 as amended by special resolution(s) dated 02/12/2013, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)”
Objectives and activities
The charity's objective is to advocate for equality and diversity in cinema, on screen, behind the lens and across the wider industry. Specifically focusing on the role of women / non-binary persons in film and filmmaking and also to further any other similar purposes which are charitable in accordance with the law of England and Wales from time to time as the charity thinks fit. Core strategic objectives are listed as follows:
-
Increase viewership of and enrich public conversation about films made by women and non-binary people.
-
To spotlight, celebrate and create impact for films by women and non-binary people while building a community for those
who make, show, release and watch them.
-
Increase audience diversity by making the cinema experience safe, accessible, relevant and inclusive.
-
Strive for equal access and opportunities within the film industry for women and non-binary people.
-
Take an active stance against all forms of prejudice and discrimination. Contiously strive to be anti-ableist, anti-racist, and
anti-transphobic organisaition committed to bringing about change through campaigning and community building in cinema.
There has been no change in these objectives during the year.
Public Benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Despite the continued hardships the film exhibition industry is facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Birds’ Eye View has successfully continued its charitable activities over 2021-2022. Birds’ Eye View is currently in receipt of a two-year organisational grant from the British Film Institute’s Audience Fund. This award is given to organisations with proven sector experience and a demonstrable track record of outstanding delivery of audience or industry facing activity, an in-depth understanding of UK film culture and excellence in audience development and community engagement, in line with the BFI’s Diversity Standards. Receiving an Organisational award signifies Birds’ Eye View as a leader in its field and an exemplar of good practice.
Birds’ Eye View seeks to achieve the charity’s set objectives with two major strands of activity:
-
Audience Facing Activity:
-
“Reclaim the Frame”, majority-funded by the National Lottery from the British Film Institute’s Audience Fund, produces and hosts cinema events in 15 cities across the UK of new films by women & non-binary filmmakers. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw a slow return to cinemas from May 2021, the Reclaim The Frame initiative was able to expand to Liverpool and Edinburgh during 2021-2022 albeit on a reduced scale.
-
Following receipt of funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, distributed by City Bridge Trust in 2020 the charity has developed a community outreach programme to accompany the Reclaim The Frame project. Currently the community outreach project delivers free film watching experiences (limited to titles and filmmakers supported by the Reclaim The Frame project) to 300 people per month from London communities most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. If additional funding is not secured beyond 31 March 2021 the community project formally ended in June 2021 and will restart upon receipt of renewed funding.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- Industry Facing Activity: majority funded by the film industry training funding body Screen Skills, our online ‘Pandemic Response Programme’ was designed to professionally support 65 women in distribution, exhibition and audience development roles, running 2020 to end 2021. Funding was also secured from Screen Skills to run a sixth iteration of ‘Filmonomics’, our business skills development programme for 18 women & non-binary directors and producers which commenced from April 2021.
Melanie Iredale stepped in as the charity’s director from October 2021, following Mia Bays’ 5 years of service in the role. Formerly Deputy Director of the UK charity Sheffield DocFest, Melanie brings over fifteen years experience of developing audiences for film and the arts, and supporting filmmakers and artists, within the charitable sector.
Plans for Future
Having continued to serve filmmakers and audiences online over the national lockdown, the charity has been making good progress in developing audiences in-person, through in-cinema activity following the reopenings in May 2021. Birds’ Eye View continues to gather compelling results and testimony from both audiences and the industry, and therefore plans to continue its activities across the 2022-2023 period. The board understands the impact on the industry and are placing much focus on keeping the charity financially solvent, particularly focusing on additional fundraising outside of the charity’s primary funder, The British Film Institute.
Financial review
The income for the year was £323,320 (2021: £302,776). Total expenditure was £330,831 (2021: £274,039) resulting in net expense for the year of £7,511 (2021: net income £28,737).
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be increased from the current level of £8,000 (2021). The Trustees plan to build the reserves figure to £42,500 over the next few years. This figure reflects the charity’s recent growth and represents approximately three months staffing and overheads as well as the potential for needing to make any redundancies. This year’s 2021-2022 accounts demonstrate that reserves have been increased from £8,000 to £10,235, utilising the unrestricted reserved funds not designated for any specific use.
Risk
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied with the systems in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its memorandum and articles of association.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
As set out in the Articles of Association the Chair of the trustees is nominated by the trustees, who are elected annually by the members of the charity attending the Annual General Meeting and serve a term of 3 years.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees, who are also the directors of Birds Eye View for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Director’s Report and Statement on Birds’ Eye View’s Response to the Covid-19 Global Pandemic:
For April 2021 - March 2022, our focus has been on building back up our programme of in-person cinema events in support of our gender equality goals and to aid the recovery of the UK independent film sector in the wake of the severe disruption of the last two years. Over the 12 month period we supported 36 films overall representing a diverse cross-section of female and non-binary voices, 18 with in-cinema events that generated a total of 7,591 admissions, approximately 35-40% who were under 30 years old. Particularly successful tours of Rebel Dykes and of Cow over the November 2021 - January 2022 months demonstrated a strong appetite and need for live, communal film events. Meanwhile, we felt it a priority to maintain some online engagement, particularly for access reasons and for those who continued to shield, resulting in a further 216,000 online views.
Captioning was provided for all our online events. We also continue to produce (and encourage/advocate for distributors to produce) accessible (descriptive subtitles and audio described) versions of films we promote for use on online platforms. In total, we produced 20 accessible versions of events, feature films and trailers over the course of the year.
Overall our programming and audience engagement once again met and / or exceeded the ‘Diversity Standards’ as set by the BFI, through continuing to spotlight talent both on-screen and behind the camera that is too often overlooked or under-represented, as we aim to re-shape attitudes around cultural and commercial relevance in cinema.
With the reopening of cinemas and rebuilding of audience trust in cinema-going together with new leadership for the charity, we’ve taken the time to review our priorities going forwards, which include:
-
Further diversifying the slate of titles we support – in terms of intersectional and international perspectives, stories, and representations, with a focus on our own curation.
-
Decentralising Reclaim The Frame through the appointment of 6 x new Impact Producers across the UK via an open call in March 2021 and who from May 2021 began work on growing grassroots community engagement/impact.
-
Internationalising all of the above through the appointment of a more international team and through our Reclaim The Frame x International project, with support of British Council, which from March 2022-March 2023 involves programming and circulating titles from the UK, Lebanon, Turkey, Taiwan, Tunisia, together with launching an international / sixth iteration of our Filmonomics training programme for filmmakers.

BIRDS EYE VIEW
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- Campaigning for a fairer, safer and more compassionate sector as key to our work in advocating for a more equitable industry, through various talks and panels and social media advocacy, and starting with holding a mirror to our own organisation, through our ‘de-patriarchising the organisation’ Trustee sub-committee which has resulted in a published set of values for the charity - not only outlining what we do, but also how we work - in order to set example. This resulted in an open call for new Trustees who will start with the charity in September 2022.
Meanwhile, feedback on our film events and curation remains high, with 100% of survey respondents likely or very likely to recommend Reclaim The Frame to others, 93% rating the experience 4 or 5/5 and 96% rating the films 4 or 5/5.
Given the climate and challenges, we are pleased to have finished the year receiving 75k in restricted project funds from the British Council, £47,406 of which will be carried over into the next financial year, 2022-2023, on top of a total reserves of £10,325.
