Opening
The screenings programme
Films that changed something, taken apart afterwards. And work made by the women who trained here, shown to an audience in the seats.
Social impact film studies
Watch a film that moved something in the world, then work out how.
A film is not an intervention. What happens in the room afterwards is.
So the session is built around the taking apart. A campaign film, a documentary or a drama, then the questions that matter: who was it for, what did it ask of them, where did it land, and where did the makers get it wrong.
It is a craft class and an argument at once. You leave knowing how the thing was built.

Work made here, shown to an audience
A screening with people in the seats is a different thing from a link sent to a tutor.
The other half of the programme is our own. Films made by women in the programmes get a night in the screening room, and the makers stay for the questions.
Opening. The first run as the first cohorts finish, and dates go out as each one opens.
How a session is put together
Agreed with you in writing before anyone sits down.
- The film is agreed with you, and you tell us what would be wrong to show your room.
- Nobody is asked to answer for a whole community, and whoever holds the room interrupts any question that does.
- Women-only sessions run on request, with a woman holding the room and a woman on the technical side.
- Written questions are taken as well as spoken ones.
- Screenings for young people are agreed with your designated safeguarding lead.
