Creative Connection - Celebrating Black Filmmakers
A warm welcome from Through A Different Lens - we can't wait to host you.
For the second year running, we'll be hosting an evening dedicated to filmmaking telling stories from the black community. We want to be part of the changing face of who makes film and who gets to make stories so we are thrilled to showcase film from our founders cultural hertiage. It's our regular meet up for filmmakers and creatives to watch films, meet like minds and develop new collaboration.
The event is supported by The University of Reading
We'll be screening:
