Session 1: Cinema-making 

Celebrating how we approach the creative possibilities of film exhibition as a socially engaged practice, we invite representatives of the Leeds alternative and DIY film screening culture to reflect critically on their methods, and to build connections between our two cities. 

Session 2: Community archiving

A recent artist documentary recorded 100 people living in the diverse residential community surrounding the S&S. These recorded conversations are now being logged and archived by the community themselves in a radical rethink about media ownership and who archiving is done by and for. Led by the Dwellbeing Shieldfield Community Archive this session will be a workshop on their process. 

Session 3: Learning beyond the camera 

This session looks at learning that takes place outside formal education. How might we learn from one another in just ways? Who and what is a community of learning, and how can it influence film and cinema?

Session 4: Film screening around self-images of youth

With a focus on La Polygone Etoile in Marseille and the Film Flamme project, this screening and discussion pieces together a new way forward for working with young people and cinema.
