Cables and Cameras Showcase: WOMXN CAMERAS, LIGHTS
FREE Tickets are available now and can be booked through this link.
We’re back with another one of our Beyond Black History Month events! In collaboration with Cables & Cameras, we’ll be showcasing a diverse series of short films, aiming to spotlight and celebrate the creative contributions of POC Womxn directors and producers from Bristol.
Alongside screenings, we’ll be hosting a Q&A panel discussion with prominent POC Womxn producers and directors in Bristol, touching on their experiences and insights. We’ll explore the current landscape of the creative industry in the Southwest, along with the challenges, triumphs and opportunities that shape the narrative for POC Womxn in the field.
We’re excited to welcome Michelle Pascal from Fam Film Production, who will be moderating the discussions, and Euella Jackson, Co-Director of Rising Arts Agency.
This event will not only showcase the incredible talent in Bristol but will give you the opportunity to build connections within the creative community and engage in inspiring conversations with those in the field.

About Beyond Black History Month:
Black History Month (BHM) activities within the higher education sector as well as in other educational institutions in the UK are often infused with an underlying presumption that while we may celebrate the Black British presence in the UK there is no cerebral benefit to studying Black/African history. Further, they signify that while there is something to learn from the Black experience, there is no intellectual value underpinning the Black/Africana presence in the UK or in the world more generally. This is replicated by the massive absence of ethical engagement with knowledge production driven by Black scholars at various stages of the education sector. This results in the lack of a deep understanding and appreciation of the presence and contributions of Black people in the UK.
To address these limitations in 2023-2024 the Global Lounge aims to initiate a year-long series of events exploring the Black presence and/or contributions in the UK and more globally from different angles. Using Black History Month 2023 as a launch pad, the planned series of events aims to begin the process of shifting our focus from occasional events, often centred around food, fashion and music, to interrogate the presence and contributions of Black people in the UK more deeply and systematically.
All students and staff are welcome to attend. Spaces are limited and booking is essential to guarantee your place. Filming and photography may be taking place at this event, learn more.
