More than just a film club
REDEYE is a not-for-profit organisation which means we put all our resources into the communities we work with. We specifically look to encourage young, underrepresented voices to enrich creative conversations with their perspectives. There are loads of opportunities to get insight into creative industries. And for young people (18-24), we're setting up one-to-one time with industry experts and work experience opportunities with creative companies.
Watch films with us.
REDEYE screenings are where you go for your dose of eclectic non-Western focused films. Since June 2022, we have shown a new film every month from our curated REDEYE x Mubi film list, and we have a bunch more film events planned. Unlike your local Cinema, our curated nights hit differently. We will refresh your creative palette with films from different cultures, experimental genres and contemporary stories. And we encourage discussions with each other through our talks with established directors and new filmmakers. However, most importantly, we want you to be yourself and be part of the creative conversation.
And it’s all FREE
REDEYE is free to attend in order to minimise barriers to access. There are many disparities in creative spaces, so we endeavour to empower attendees, especially young people. As a multi-layered creative cultural programme, students, artists and lecturers work across their sectors to support the development of young people, starting in Southwark. Our curated films are the stimulus for attendees to communicate with those around them, formulate their own thoughts, and learn from each other's perspectives.
As a community organisation, we rely on funding to support our initiatives and programs.
Help support our work by donating.
We are particularly interested in learning about funding opportunities that could help us expand our work, reach a wider audience, and provide more opportunities for underrepresented groups. We’d love to hear from you.
