6SENSE / A.T.L.A.N

We are thrilled to present A.T.L.A.N, our first collaboration with KAMVA Collective, a cultural production house from South Africa.

The event will feature a selection of documentary and short films by KAMVA Collective followed by a Zoom Q&A session with the founders Amilcar Patel and Chris Kets - and musician Mxshi Mo

These unique programs celebrate the rich and diverse cultures of South Africa, bringing their stories to a global audience.

6SENSE tells the story of a groundbreaking Gqom music producer whose extraordinary journey from rural South Africa to international acclaim is both inspiring and transformative. The self-narrated hybrid documentary explores Mxshi Mo's early life in the rural foothills of the Drakensberg mountains, South Africa. The film poignantly delves into his realisation around his loss of sight and his discovery of electronic dance music as a way to connect with the outside world - shining a light on a potential path out of his personal darkness.

Directed by duo Amílcar Patel and Chris Kets from Boiler Rooms Third Space fame, 6SENSE is produced by KAMVA Collective and is shot on location in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa and London, United Kingdom.

Cables & Cameras presents : REGIONAL VOICES

Another chance to experience a special Cables & Cameras showcase of short films + a discussion after the films hosted by Junior Sunder + a opportunity to socialise in the bar and garden.

A cinematic movement is currently unfolding, spearheaded by a new generation of talented black and brown filmmakers and creatives. These visionaries are weaving captivating narratives that delve into the unexplored experiences and rich culture of various UK regions, thereby connecting diverse voices in a profound way.

The question arises: How can we establish strong alliances and partnerships with our regional creatives, and what valuable insights can we gain from one another? Let us embark on a journey to explore and discover specific solutions and tips that will enable us to collaborate effectively and further enhance the impact of this movement. By fostering an environment of mutual learning and support, we can elevate and celebrate the unique stories and perspectives that emerge from the regions across the UK. 

Through this collective effort, we can undoubtedly achieve a more inclusive and representative portrayal of our society and culture in are regions. Together, we can create a  landscape that truly embraces the richness of our regional identities and amplifies the voices that have been waiting to be heard.

INSPIRED Takeover

Join Cables & Cameras and guests for a takeover of Watershed from Sat 25 - Mon 27 Sept online and in-venue. You can expect box fresh perspectives and films by Black and POC creatives that provoke and inspire; from Award-winning creative and marketing professional Jay Davidson to filmmakers including Michael Jenkins (Blak Wave), The Williams Brothers (MANDEM) and Teddy Nygh (PRU, Exposed).

Whether you’re an aspiring filmmaker trying to find your path into the industry, a more established creative interested in finding ways to develop your practice or just interested in discovering films by some of the most exciting creative talent out there, get involved. Over the three days, there will be a whole range of conversations, screenings and webinars that will explore Black/POC culture and talent both in front of and behind the camera and ask questions such as: how do we understand our own power?; how do we navigate and develop practices that not only makes space for us and our stories but also encourages collaborations and paves the way for the next generation of creatives?; and why is it key for Black/POC led organisations and creatives to be active in nurturing and commissioning up-and-coming talent from those communities?

Join us in finding some of the answers and raising the questions that will help build Black and POC communities and creative careers into a sustainable future. The INSPIRED Takeover will feature contributions from MANDEM, Bristol Black Horror Club, Fully Focussed and Cinema GOLAU to name a few of the creative organisations involved.

Presented by Cables & Cameras in partnership with Encounters Film Festival, Bristol UNESCO City of Film, BFI NETWORK and BFI awarding funds from National Lottery.
