MOVING PICTURES
MOVING PEOPLE

Film is a high-impact medium. But that impact can be short-lived. It quickly decays. An audience is deeply affected by a film, temporarily. They empathise with the film's protagonists, temporarily. They engage with the issues, temporarily. The audience thinks something and feels something in the moment, but ultimately does nothing. What a waste.

We aim to do better.

Yes, the film is important. But so is the filmmaking process. And so is the process by which the film is seen and experienced. Deep, long-lasting impact comes from events that spark conversation, build community, and inspire collective action.

We don't just move people emotionally, we move them to take action.

  • Collaborative Storytelling

    We partner with communities, centering their voices in their stories.

  • Action-Oriented Films

    Our films are tools for organising, designed to mobilise viewers and inspire better politics.

  • Engagement Beyond the Screen

    Through screenings, discussions, and events, our films create spaces for dialogue and collective action.

MAKING PEACE WITH
POLITICS

Our current project is Making Peace With Politics - a three-part short film series. We’re making alliances with Palestinian and Israeli peace builders. Our work explores how they make peace with themselves so as to make peace with "others". This simple concept, though devilish hard in practice, holds good between people, within communities, between ideologies and states.

Just how do they do it? Can their skills be learned?

Help Us Tell This Story

  • "For Aristotle, at the core of democracy and freedom lies equality. The demos, the people, are those who rule over everything"

    Alexandros Schismenos – Out of the Ruins

  • “There's no way that we can find our way through this situation without hugely changing the way that everything is structured...”

    Josie Holt - The Deliberate Rebellion

  • “The word politics, in our languages, is about governing and bringing harmony”

    Joshua Konkankoh – Love is Freedom

  • “What is going to happen now is that there will be a change for the better. They will sit down and discuss, they will hear our problems”

    Alina Lyson – Teaching Power
