Cables & Cameras’ Inspired event returns for its fourth annual edition

By Robin Askew  Thursday May 16, 2024

After three successful previous Watershed takeovers, Bristol’s Cables & Cameras returns on Saturday 15 June for another Inspired day of screenings and discussions celebrating the talents of homegrown filmmakers of colour. Inspired 24 features contributions from rising stars including the Williams brothers, AKA Mandem Collective, plus a conversation with award-winning writer, executive and creative director Karla Williams from MsMono production company.

The day kicks off with a Homegrown Journeys session, offering an opportunity to hear from BFI Network South West New Voices alumni Jojo Bossman and Shannon George, hosted by Euella Jackson, co-director of Rising Arts Agency.

New for 2024, Pitch Lab offers five emerging filmmakers the chance to pitch their projects to industry experts and receive insightful, constructive feedback in a supportive, peer-to-peer environment.

Concluding Inspired 24 is a preview screening of Reel Talk – the new feature from the Williams brothers, which is billed as exploring “themes of friendship, life and the universe”.
