The inaccurate portrayal and unfair representation of women on screen led Amanda Craig to create She’s En Scene – a community cinema project.
She’s En Scene is a Glasgow women’s community cinema screening films made by women. Their mission is to provide safe spaces where women and girls can watch, discuss, debate and create films together and empower one another.
After graduating in 2017 with a degree in Television Production, Amanda’s mental health declined. Unable to secure employment and experiencing isolation, that’s when She’s En Scene was born. Now, the project is a cinema social hub and safe space for women. When Amanda is not busy with the project, she teaches young people in Govan filmmaking. Amanda sums up: “When the industry isn’t creating or supporting spaces for change to happen, then you’ve got to do it yourself!”
