The 13th Annual
|
SFW20 offered 15 days of films and events to showcase film and filmmaking from across the globe and including the work of many regional filmmakers. Alongside our own programme of feature and short film screenings and the SFW: Shorts competition, in 2020 we partnered with Amplify Film Festival to give audiences access to an even wider programme of brilliant independent and international film of all styles and genre.
City Eye began its journey as Southampton Film and Video Co-operative in April 1986. In 2016 we marked 0ur 30th anniversary with the commencement of a project to retrace our history, re-engaging with some of the people and projects which have taken place across three decades. The project is on-going but a glimpse of the archive and new interviews with some of those involved, was screened as The City Eye Story at events to celebrate the opening of Studio 144, Southampton's new arts centre, in February 2018. City Eye is now located at Studio 144, continuing in its efforts to become fully operational in the building. We look forward to launching our programme of training, production and screening events, collaborating with and offering support to organisations, artists and filmmakers and becoming a new centre for digital media in the region. The developing online version of our archive will go live to celebrate this milestone.
In 2021 and beyond we remain true to our original mission - a dedication to 'making and screening film and video', 'training workshops and educational events' and 'regular meetings to enable discussion and exchange ideas'. The format of these activities may have changed over almost 35 years, but the spirit lives on.
