The Women In Film & Television Awards 2009

Thursday, December 17, 2009

by Maureen Murray

Margy with Mariella Frostrup
Margy with Mariella Frostrup

Women In Film & Television UK is now twenty years old and it has blossomed from its beginnings in 1989 as a rather shy and awkward youngster of an organisation into a highly polished professional outfit, self-confident in its achievements and accepted by its peers. The organisation has come of age, and the WFTV 2009 Awards Ceremony really showed it! The London Park Lane Hilton Hotel ballroom was a positive feast of glitz and glamour. The list of invitees and awardees was stellar. Top comedienne Jo Brand got things going with a swing in her role as Awards Compere. John Hurt, sitting next to Lifetime Achievement Awardee Dame Helen Mirren at the next table to ours was corpsing with laughter throughout. The atmosphere in the room was celebratory and the role call of recognition was enjoyed by almost one thousand guests representing all sectors of the UK film and television industry.

It was one of the proudest professional moments of my life when Margy was called up on stage to receive the WFTV 2009 Creative Originality Award, which was presented to her by writer and broadcaster Mariella Frostrup. Margy is a heroine of independent arts film-making. In the last year alone she has talked thrills and spills with Placido Domingo in Los Angeles, raced around the Venice Bienale in a vaporetto, touched the musical heartbeat of Russia at St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre and spent dreamtime with aboriginal artists in Australia. Throughout her career she has made individual and beautiful films that make you you laugh, let you cry and – above all – encourage you to understand and celebrate the creative spirit. And it has been my very great privilege to be able to help her bring some of that work to life and now witness her very long overdue recognition. Well done, Margy!
