Join us in Manchester for a day of conversation, ideas and connection with fellow film exhibitors from across the North.
Hosted at
HOME, Manchester, this free members' event brings together cinema teams, programmers, and festival organisers to share experiences, build networks and learn from one another.
We'll kick things off with lunch and networking, followed by a series of short presentations from Film Hub North members celebrating the projects, partnerships and achievements of the past year.
It's a chance to reflect on what we've accomplished together, hear from peers and look ahead to 2027. We'll also enjoy a festive quiz and a screening of a Hub-supported short film.
Tuesday 1 December
11:00-16:00, HOME
Please RSVP by Tuesday 24 November.
Speakers include:
From Bradford's
National Science and Media Museum, Sally Folkard (Head of Screen and Cultural Engagement) and Jack Wentworth-Weedon (Screen Programme Producer) will discuss their programme's recent successes, particularly community takeover activities with local groups and audiences.
