Over the last year, Falasteen on Film has participated in the organisation of ten cultural events in different venues across Birmingham. All these included the curation of a screening programme enhanced with a special activity, workshop or talk. In most of them we provided locally-made food, in an attempt to both feed our audience without any additional cost and to promote local businesses in the area. For us is key to re-distribute any income made and budget received with the community, both by showcasing the talent of local artists and creatives and by compensating them fairly. Virtually all of these events were collaboratively designed or delivered with local organisations or regional (or regionally-based) creatives, something that is integral to the company’s ethos of diversity, community networking and mutual support. Most of ourr events focused on specific groups, and all of them were ticketed on a tiered-system, two elemens that encouraged the attendance of a diverse attendance. As such, our events had a significant impact on under-served communities who cannot access the type of programming we offer; from LGBTQIA+ groups from the SWANA region to Muslim women and families, people with disabilities and Black and brown artists/cultural workers.
We have received invaluable feedback from Aaisha Akhtar and Josephine Reichert (ORT Gallery) in terms of funding application and policy making, which we have applied in various application processes. We have also learned about marketing strategies, budget managing and programming from the festivals we have collaborated with, such as SAFAR festival (Becky Harrison and Amani Hassan) or Flatpack Festival (Ian Francis, Amy Smart, Sam Evans, Rachael Yardley). Working alongside our partner venues – Mockingbird Cinema (Lee Nabbs), Pan Pan (Vlad), Eastside Projects (Harman Randhawa) or Midlands Arts Centre (David Baldwin) - allowed us to better understand space distribution, ticketing options and event organisation in general.
The two directors of the company have received £315.00 and £416.00 each
