Talk

Please note: This event took place in Nov 2014

In August 2014, UK film production company Purple Field Productions organised a six week film festival of its educational dramas and documentaries throughout Malawi, managing to reach large audiences in remote, rural areas by using a pedal-powered cinema kit. Forty screenings were held to an audience of over 9,000 men, women and children, who were keen to engage in discussion about the films' health and social issues.

George Salt, the project's UK representative, delivered the festival with two Malawian charity workers. In this free talk he expands on their journey and also how Purple Field Productions manage to make their films with local communities, in local languages, to stimulate important debate.

This talk is FREE - please book your tickets online and collect them from Box Office at least 20 minutes before the start of the talk. Any tickets not collected by this time will be released.
