Join us for the second edition of PopChange Film Club – Counterpoints’ new monthly programme at RichMix London.
This month we’re teaming up with Other Cinemas to showcase some of our favourite short films from the Other Cinemas Film School – a free, year-long film school which provides new and emerging filmmakers from diverse backgrounds with mentorship and guidance to create confident, imaginative, and curious filmmakers who are interested in the transformative potential of filmmaking.
This screening is followed by a Q&A with some of the directors of the films, chaired by PopChange producer Laith Elzubaidi.

Other Cinemas is a Brent-based project established by the filmmaking duo Turab Shah and Arwa Aburawa who saw the need for better and more equitable ways of film-making, sharing, and education. Seeing these three strands as inseparable, their work attempts to create a vital and holistic alternative to the industry that addresses its racial and class biases. Their work is rooted in our diverse neighbourhoods in northwest London, some of the most racially diverse in the country but chronically underserved in terms of cultural provisions.
