WOFFF24 Award Winners

On Saturday 21 September, we hosted the 10th edition of the Women Over 50 Film Festival.

We were delighted to be joined at Depot by our Matron, Greta Scacchi (White Mischief, The Player, Bodies), special guest Thelma Barlow (Coronation Street, Dinnerladies) and author, Corrina Antrobus, who interviewed Thelma about her career. Together we were delighted to celebrate the scriptwriters and filmmakers who made a big impression on our judges with their fun, fearless and real stories.
