Rolling Places – Ashley O’Callaghan (short)
Born out of a desire to conquer fears of filmmaking and using a skatepark, Rolling Places is a one woman documentary which explores the experiences of a diverse set of people who live in London as they attempt to use public spaces for roller skating. It is a research piece which highlights the issues many people face when using public spaces, and aims to open up the conversation around urban planning and invite more diverse voices to shape it.

Coming Home? – Julia Maria Diana Jansch (short)
This film is in Afrikaans with English subtitles.

Run To The Source – Matt Kay (short)
Martin Johnson embarks on his most challenging run, as he explores the connection between Black British history and the River Thames.
Martin attempts to set a new fastest known time on the 184-mile Thames Path running from the Thames Barrier in London to the source of the river in the Cotswolds. What starts as a gruelling and ambitious record-breaking attempt turns into a journey of discovery. He learns both about himself and the entangled history between Black people and the river. Martin hopes his run will encourage more diversity in the sport of trail running and inspire others to get out beyond the city and run.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A.
