Join London Migration Film Festival
Are you passionate about migration? Do you have a unique event idea? We are looking for you!
At London Migration Film Festival, we believe in the power of collaboration and diverse perspectives.
That's why we're excited to open up the floor to individuals, organizations, and creative minds to co-present events within our upcoming festival, scheduled from 20th to 27th November.
Whether you envision a film screening, a thought-provoking panel discussion, an engaging workshop, a captivating performance, or any other creative event, we want to hear from you.
We welcome proposals that explore the intersection of migration with various themes, such as climate emergency, integration, parenthood, race, gender, representation, and beyond. Your event should embody the spirit of our festival by celebrating the diversity, humanity, and challenges inherent in migration.
This is the second year we are encouraging collabs. Examples of successful events hosted last year include a screening of films coming from the Filipino diaspora; a poetry reading & magazine launch; a game-making workshop; and a character-writing workshop.
No matter if you're an event planning novice or a seasoned organizer, we encourage you to submit your proposal. We value the fresh perspectives and insights that individuals at any stage of their journey can bring. Moreover, we invite organizations, both large and small, to join us in this collaborative endeavor.
To submit your event proposal, please email us with the following information by 4th August:
A detailed outline of your proposed event, highlighting its format, objectives, and key elements.
The target audience you envision for your event and how you plan to engage them effectively.
A compelling explanation of how your event connects with the concept of migration, showcasing its relevance and impact.
An approximate budget, considering the financial constraints of our limited resources. Please note that we aim to keep ticket prices low and try to plan events that are able to recoup their own costs. These considerations should be included in your budget.
You can send your proposal to themigrationcollective@protonmail.com .
We are open to different forms of financial collaboration, let’s chat about it.
We are going to host an online Q&As for people interested in hosting an event with us on Sunday 14th July at 11 am - if you’re interested, please join us through this zoom link.
The festival is now at its 9th edition, and we have strong connections with a number of venues across London including cinemas as well as less formal spaces.
Our programme has a strong focus on film, but we always include other types of events (such as live music, theatre, comedy, exhibitions, workshops etc).
We particularly like to highlight issues that sit at the intersection of migration and other themes, such as climate emergency, LGBTQ+, mental health - be creative.
