Objectives

City Eye is an independent charity that inspires and supports individuals and communities to experience and be changed by film.

For over thirty five years City Eye has championed and encouraged those working, playing and experimenting with film in Southampton and its surrounding region.

Activities

Inspire

We offer professional development, support, training, screening events and networking opportunities to people working in the industry and those that aspire to. We recognise the difficulties and discrimination individuals and communities can face. City Eye strives to actively challenge these through our work and our approach. This is our past and our future.

 

Create

We are documentary makers, story tellers, animators, artists.  We work with individuals, organisations and communities to explore ideas and experiences, and we share these through film and digital technology. We make films to meet the needs of the people we are working with; responding to specific briefs or more fluidly developing an approach in collaboration with our clients. We engage with some groups in an immersive way; facilitating the creation of moving image that resonates with the community to which it belongs. 

 

Collaborate

We believe film experiences should be enjoyed by everyone and we enable this through a year-round programme of open access events. We work on specific projects with individuals, schools, arts organisations, youth services, health providers, community groups and charities. We support people to achieve their filmmaking and digital goals whatever they may be. We are committed to ensuring that anyone can access our activities and facilities without barriers or discrimination. 

 

Celebrate

At City Eye, we love film.  We are dedicated to the promotion and development of film and digital culture in the region. We run a programme of film events throughout the year and we present an annual festival which is packed full of screenings, talks, workshops and competitions. We also celebrate, through all our work, the transformational process of filmmaking; the learning and development of the individuals we work with, their participation and personal achievement.
