Screen Shot x CINECITY x Fabrica presents: Film Programmers Get Together
Do you love cinema and fancy running your own film night or event? Or have you been programming for a while and want to reconnect with old friends, meet new collaborators and discover what’s happening across the region? Join independent film programmers, film clubs, festivals and community groups from Screen Shot and beyond for a relaxed evening of conversation, inspiration and networking. Whether you’re just getting started or are a seasoned programmer, it’s a chance to share ideas, make connections and discover some of the brilliant film activity happening in Sussex. The evening will include a guest speaker plus a new quickfire session where five attendees will have three minutes each to share a project, programme or idea with the group - whether you’re looking for collaborators, promoting an established programme or simply have something you’d love to share. Our guest speaker will be Moritz Cheung from Platform Asia. Moritz will talk to us about how Platform Asia started, working with venues across the UK and beyond, and curating film programmes that engage with Asian perspectives and diasporic experiences. There will also be a screening of a selection of 2–3 short films from Platform Asia’s previous programmes. A pay bar will be available throughout the evening, with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. If you have a new project, an established film programme or an idea you’d like to share, let us know when you book. We’ll review requests after 14 November and confirm selected speakers before the event. Talks will be strictly limited to three minutes!
