Exeter Phoenix are working alongside Into Film to create the first South West Showcase
– a special hour-long screening that will celebrate exceptional young filmmaking talent from across the region. South West based filmmakers aged 16-19 are invited to submit short films of under 10 minutes. The deadline to submit your film is Friday 14th December. The final hour-long showcase will be toured at film festivals and venues across the region throughout 2019.

Exeter Phoenix
Bang in the heart of the city, Exeter Phoenix is a vibrant, world class multi-artform venue, and home to several art galleries, a theatre, cinema, film production resources, a radio station, print workshop and recording studios, all centred around a buzzing café bar. As well as hosting hundreds of music, film, art and performance events every year, we nurture a thriving arts scene through our Creative Hub, which supports emerging artists, musicians, theatre companies and filmmakers.
 

Into Film
Into Film are a UK-wide programme designed to support teachers and educators to achieve a wide range of effective learning outcomes in their use of film. Their programme includes a network of extra-curricular film clubs, resources for use in clubs and in the classroom, training opportunities, a cinema-based film festival and our annual Awards. 

This weekend the Sundance award-winning documentary, Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. opens and the Showcase Cinema at West Quay has screenings on Friday and Sunday (28 and 30 September).  We understand that if  you quote 'Birds Eye View' when booking at the Cinema a discount will be applied to the ticket price.  This offer is subject to availability and isn't available for pre-booking.

Drawn from a cache of personal video recordings from the past 22 years, director Steve Loveridge has chronicled the remarkable journey of critically-acclaimed artist, M.I.A. – from refugee immigrant to pop star.  Described by Sight & Sound as "a vibrant and valuable study that gets satisfyingly under the skin of the refugee turned pop star," Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. details life as Matangi, daughter of the founder of Sri Lanka's Tamil resistance; Maya, a precocious and creative immigrant teenager in London, and M.I.A., one of the most recognisable, outspoken and provocative voices in music today.
