Company activities and impact

PART 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S ACTIVITIES AND IMPACTIn the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community.With intermittent Covid restrictions in 2021 Afrika Eye decided to run a smaller event than usual focusing on film and discussion for restricted audiences in a number of venues throughout Bristol including our partnership organisation Watershed, The Cube Microplex Cinema, Easton Community Centre, The Curzon, Clevedon and the Old Picture House, Totterdown. The scaled-down festival was able to go ahead with a grant of £9,000 from Film Hub South-West, supporting two full days and five evenings of screenings, including live music and post-screening Q & A’s. We were able to link to directors and producers in Africa through the wonders of Zoom which enabled audience participation in a new and dynamic way. Our funding covered film licences, speaker fees, travel, accommodation, and hospitality for visiting speakers and administration with a small fee for the director, producer, PR & marketing manager. Our commitment to community involvement continues, bringing in local participants where possible, whilst raising the profile of African and diaspora artists and creatives. Our theme of ‘Voices of Africa’ allowed us to programme a wide range of films covering the topics of migration, international development, climate change and much more, offering creative engagement to our audiences and festival team.Community /audience participation has always been at the core of our festival and for each of our film events we had post-screening speakers and panel discussions, drawing on a varied bank of expertise from young arts creatives (Knowle West Media Centre) to experienced academics from the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, plus film directors and producers both within the local and wider international arts community. There were also opportunities for screening a locally produced and directed film, with an invited audience of members of the public who had participated in the film. As well as a screening at the prestigious Watershed Media Centre we screened at Windmill Hill City Farm for an audience who wouldn’t have travelled into the centre of Bristol to view the film.Regular online meetings with our Film Hub kept us up to date with industry guidelines and current restrictions in terms of audience numbers and social distancing. These meetings also allowed us to have a general sense of how other organisations like ours, were faring in the pandemic and how they were finding ways to continue to engage with audiences online or live. With our small reserves, we could pay our subscriptions, insurance, and limited office costs, keeping spending to a minimum.
