This is the second of three Film Programmer Get Togethers events we have planned in July and November 2025 and February 2026. Each event includes a special guest speaker who will give an introduction to their work and some of their top tips for programming, as well as a viewing of a selection of shorts during the evening.

Screen Shot is a website and monthly newsletter designed to promote and support alternative film events in Sussex. We work with independent programmers, film clubs, festivals and community groups to help special events, pop-up screenings and live cinema events reach a wider audience. It was formed in 2019 by CINECITY, The Old Market, Oska Bright Film Festival, Open Colour, Fabrica , Attenborough Centre for the Contemporary Arts and Women Over 50 Film Festival and is now managed by Fabrica.
