Inna Vision Film School screenings
The Inna Vision Film School, based in Hackney, has been a year long project working with adults with lived experience of mental health issues, and those without. The participants have made a slate of short documentary and experimental films during the process, touching on various aspects of mental health experience, and with a particular focus on African and Caribbean communities. The participants will present their work in series of screenings and lead discussions of the issues. You can see examples of our films at https://vimeo.com/innavision
On Thursday May 8th, from 6.30 – 8pm we are the guests of the Participatory Film In Action Group. We will be screening our work, presented by the participants, with a particular focus on the creative and participatory process. This is at The Daniel Lebeskind Space, GC1-08, Tower Building, London Metropolitan University, 166-220 Holloway Road, London N7 8DB.
