Intimacy coordinator Ita O’Brien talked with Girls On Film co-founder Hedda Archbold at last summer’s Latitude Festival about the work of her company, Intimacy On Set. She explains the way their work is transforming on-set working practices, and the kind of intimate scenes we see on screen – as well as how we think about consent in our everyday lives.

In this episode we announce that on 23 February 2023, the second Girls On Film Awards will be held at the Garden Cinema in Covent Garden, co-hosted once again by Girls On Film host Anna Smith, and co-founder and exec producer Hedda Archbold. We are delighted to champion the amazing work done by women in film over the past year. We’ll be joined by some brilliant female filmmakers, and Ita O’Brien will be a special guest at the event, giving industry context to our Best Female Orgasm Award.
In this episode of Girls On Film you can hear all about Ita O’Brien’s approach to the portrayal of sexuality on screen.
