A project by Locws International

SwanComm Film Festival 2018

SwanComm Film Festival is a community-led film event in Swansea, organised by learners from the Creative Participation Programme, an acclaimed initiative giving people vital opportunities to learn film/media skills and gain personal confidence. The Festival will showcase short films produced this year, activities for the day include Q&A's, competitions, and free workshops. The films being screened are made by people of all ages, and the themes will vary with aims to entertain and inspire viewers

Why they need our service

Locws International aim to alleviate the effects of poverty, and benefit individuals by exposure to culture. Target groups include residents in deprived areas of the city, and participants who are not in education, or employment. We aim to get enough interest from budding filmmakers and the film industry to make this an ongoing entity that offers the communities involved a sense of ownership for this grass roots initiative.

Plan and expected results

SwanComm Film Festival aims to bring the City together to hear the voices of the community as they talk about their experiences of living in Swansea, it provides an opportunity for participants to celebrate their achievements and it's a measure of success that we work with many returning learners. We want SwanComm to continue to grow and our objective is that this event inspires more people to get involved with their local community and get creative.
