UNTHINKABLE is set up with as a charity with the aim of creating opportunity for local creative community and inspiring local audience with new stories and ways of film making. Cinema is considered the 7th art so alongside the film screenings we host a range of other events celebrating this cross road.
We are a new and upcoming Film Festival with many exciting opportunities being offered between 1st-6th October and we would love you to join us in whatever way you’d like!
Throughout the week, we have many workshops available, with industry professionals such as Mike Kingsley and Casey Shaw, as well as a free mentoring session with music journalist and BBC 6 Radio DJ, Mary Anne Hobbs alongside established Artist, Richie Culver. Other workshops such as Animation 101 and Sonic For Sculptures are also available!
We are hosting a main award screening at Hull Truck Theatre as well as a screening dedicated to Northern filmmakers at local HU5 hotspot, Polar Bear Music Club!
There is also the opportunity available to attend an exclusive screening of Little Voice, followed by a Q&A with the well-renowned British Director, Mark Herman; also well known for releases such as Brassed Off and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
One of our main beliefs as a CIO charity is to create an accessible platform for all creatives. Therefore, we have created an exhibition to run simultaneously with the film festival, allowing local artists to showcase their best work.
And lastly, to conclude the week, there will be an techno event night at Hull’s infamous DinoStar, with a lineup of upcoming DJs and music producers. Love a Dino Rave!
