Southampton Celebrates and Sampler ​

On 16th February 2018, City Eye, John Hansard Gallery and Nuffield Southampton Theatres celebrated the opening of Studio 144. 
The celebration included a performance in Guildhall Square presented by ZoieLogic Dance Theatre, fireworks, speeches from Susan Beckett (Executive Director of City Eye), Sam Hodges (Director of NST) & Woodrow Kernonhan (Director of JHG). 
The party continued on Saturday 17th February 2018, with a full day of free activities for all ages across the whole of Studio 144 and saw the launch of Sampler a week-long mix of art, music, film, performance and words - offering a flavour of what's to come when John Hansard Gallery and City Eye join NST and  are also open. Sampler was presented through to Saturday 24 February 2018.

“I am really excited by the new City Eye premises.  A great facility for local filmmakers.  I enjoyed the lectures by Caroline Sax and Matt Wild.
​Really sad I had to miss Maggie Tarver's talk but hopefully she'll be back!”


“Filmmaking Speeches presented in Studio 144 were very interesting in content and diversity. Caroline Sax, shared her rich experience and career development that moved the Screening Room to the world of great cinema. Matt Wild, who thanks to his passion and technical knowledge made his speech regarding the use of drones in shooting extremely exciting.
​Maggie Tarver's speech was very interesting because she conveyed in a comprehensible manner complex and complicated work relations between a director and an actor on the material, emotional and psychological level.”

In the screening film audiences were treated to the British indie hit 'Daphne' and International award winning documentary 'Cameraperson'

"Besides being a great film, it was also a bit of a thrill to watch Cameraperson
in the new City Eye studios - the sort of experience you wouldn't find anywhere
else in the City!"


"Daphne finally came to Southampton - thanks City Eye"

​"Watching Cameraperson was such a unique experience.
Can't think of another film like it. Fantastic"

We are very grateful to Mettricks for sponsoring our first film programme at Studio 144.
