Over the last 6 years, our film challenge has advanced the careers of hundreds of women and non-binary filmmakers. We give filmmakers the opportunity to collaborate with a new network, access the best equipment, produce high-end material, gain credits, and get into festivals. In other words, we remove the financial barriers so that women and nonbinary filmmakers can focus on telling their stories and advancing their careers. It has never been easy to make this film challenge free for participants. It takes months of planning, resource gathering, volunteer training, and more. Now more than ever, we need community support to make this film challenge happen. Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are under siege. There are lawsuits targeting these initiatives; companies are worried about sponsoring these programs; and entire DEI departments and budgets are getting cut. In a post-strike world, everyone is tightening their budgets, and equity is not making the cut. We are not going to let Hollywood backslide. Equity is not a trend; our lives depend on it. Already, Western Digital, Cinelease, and The Tremaine Foundation lent their support to the film challenge, but we need to raise $20,000 this week in order to continue our rollout. We are committed to hosting our film challenge this October, which means our applications are set to open at the end of July. In just a few short weeks, we will need to know that our funding is secure so that we can bring this program to our community. Whether you’re a past participant who wants this opportunity to be accessible to future participants or you simply believe in this mission, now is the time to make a donation. Will you be a part of this movement? Please make a tax-deductible donation today! https://lnkd.in/e7Tm5G-Y

Did you know that 96% of the UK’s registered charities are small, with an income of £1m or less per year? Many, like Chichester Cinema, operate on much less, yet their impact on local communities is immense. As a small charity in the arts sector, we pride ourselves on being agile, responsive, and deeply connected to our community. Our size allows us to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and tailor our offerings to meet the unique needs of our audience — this means featuring new as well as retro works, for example, our recent Cult of Cinema series which wraps up this week with the brilliant Trainspotting 🎟 https://lnkd.in/eeWPk5FY However, the landscape for independent cinemas remains challenging. Many are still grappling with the after-effects of the pandemic, and the recent Writers and Screen Actors Guild strike has added further uncertainty. According to the Independent Cinema Office, the post-pandemic recovery has been slow, with audience numbers not yet back to pre-COVID levels, highlighting the need for ongoing support. Despite these challenges, our passion for cinema and our commitment to the community drive us forward. We continue to offer a diverse range of films, from independent gems to global masterpieces, and an education programme for children and adults — all ensuring that the magic of cinema remains accessible to all. Your support helps us to survive and keep bring the best of cinema to Chichester. ↪️ Ways that you can support us: https://lnkd.in/eExKnzbW Make a pledge and show your LOVE for smaller charities ... ❤️ #SmallCharityWeek #SupportSmallCharities #ChichesterCinema #IndependentCinema #ArtsSector #CommunityImpact
