New Cinema Forum

I conceptualised, produced and hosted the first edition of Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival’s New Cinema Forum; an invitation to artists, filmmakers, critics and arts/film workers to consider new orientations to creating, exhibiting and working collectively. Offering practical ways to sustain and develop your practice and community, the New Cinema Forum is a relaxed space to reflect and make connections ahead of the Festival’s Opening Night film. 

I moderated the opening conversation between participants and attendees considering the contexts we are all working in: a conversation considering the challenges, contradictions, and persistent sites of possibility that emerge. Anchoring the day with a shared framework, we discuss support mechanisms, alternative structures, and new orientations to take in light of ever-changing circumstances.
