Exhibition Programme and Book

The proposed programme looks to take place whilst the short film is in production and when it is being exhibited. There is a physical programme that happens in real life. There is also a digital screening.

During the film’s production, a Work-In-Progress screening will be held followed by a crit sessions where participants can showcase work for feedback.

Once the short film is complete, a physical exhibition will take place in London and Bristol. Each location will run for 4 days. After the exhibition and festival run, the film will be available to stream online for 4 weeks via a ticket sign up system on Eventbrite and a link being sent to viewers.

To preserve the stories the film discusses, a book will be produced and sold at the exhibition; with the hopes of being available in public libraries and art bookshops.
