Advancement of Film Education Charitable Trust
AFECT restart - a unique opportunity
We are looking for an enthusiastic person, who can enter our existing ethos and help secure the future of this unique part-time film school. Patron Mike Leigh.
Issues are:
(1) To restart our administration, including the management of our website as well as dealing with all issues of placing existing and future material on it, and working alongside its founder and director, myself Jeremy Ross.
(2) The person envisaged should have sense of the long-range transformation of film culture, encouraging participation of enthusiastic and committed individuals in film-making, from all backgrounds towards the realisation of their authentic individual subjectivity, on as wide a range and scale as resources permit.
(3) Caveat: There is no money until we raise it - the school ran for thirteen years in four different venues from 1989 to 2003, on a "wing and a prayer", until we could no longer continue due to lack of any (public) funding support.
(4) The technical basis of our operation is to continue with mainly analogue means, thus avoiding any "dumbing down" that might accompany digital modes.
Those who might be interested in taking on this venture should write to me at the address below:
Jeremy Ross, Flat 20 Gisburn Mansions, Tottenham Lane, Hornsey, London N8 7EB
Who we are:
AFECT uniquely provides professional standard practical part-time 16mm training, with subsequent opportunity for film-making, for those who have neither the time nor money to attend full-time school, yet seek prolonged and serious involvement.
At the moment we are looking for a new venue to run the course. We will update the website when we have more details.
