Film critic and broadcaster Anna Smith has been elected Chair of the Critics Circle Film Section – making her the first female Chair since the legendary Dilys Powell stepped down 38 years ago.
Anna Smith says:
“I am thrilled to be elected as Chair of the Critics Circle Film Section. I’m excited to be representing my fellow critics in a time when the film industry is going from strength to strength, when social media is prevalent and when expert film writers are ever important. With new releases being viewed across platforms by many generations, our work in informing and advising the audience is key. I look forward to tackling issues that concern our members and working with the industry and the wider Circle to ensure the Film Section continues to go from strength to strength.”
