Cinenova operates from 46c Brooksby's Walk, London E9 6DA. Cinenova is the main tenant
and notlnowhere is subtenant. The building is owned by Kate Parker.
Cinenova has continued to build on existing partnerships with BFI, LUX and DIY Space for London,
who siipport the work of Cinenova by offering the organisation both exhibition and screening space,
and an OppOrtL￿ity for cross-marketing and a sharing of audiences. In 2024125 we curated programmes
with partners both nationally and internationally.
2. Structure
overnance and mana
ement
Most of our film prints are held at the BFI in Berkhamsted, and a fee is paid when prints are
withdrawn for screening or digitization. A number of prints that were held at LUX have now been
moved to our space at Brooksb) s walk and we are ill the process of r￿dIng a new storage option with
LSA for a fee, All other video and paper material is stored at 46C Brooksby. s Walk.
Films and videos are booked ELnd processed by Reman Sadani, and the overall management of finances
rcmains with thc Cinenova board of trustees.
Royalties for film and video makers are calculated on an annual basis less administration fees. As a
volunteer-run organisation, we are contracted to distribute royalty income not lower than £25 in the
case of international accounts or where the film/video-maker cannot be contacted after three attempts.
In such cases, amounts are used to promote aIl film and video makers alld thc Cincnova wcbsitc.
3. Ob'ectives and activities
Cinenova actively distributes feminist film and video, V¥ith a collection that hosts experimentsl,
narrativ¢, and fcaturc-length films, documentaries, artists, moving images, and educational fi]ms and
videos. The collection is exhibited through national and international screenings, exhibitions,
conferences, and events in addition to requests to assist curatorial, artistic, and student-led research
sent to the group. We support the dissemination of Cinenova's work and history as broadly as
possible, with the Working Group often invited to present and introduce films nationally and
inteinationally. speaking at talks, conferences, and universities, and running workshops.

alongside educational initiatives for students.
4. Achievements and erforniance
Cinenova has built out the new location at 46c Brooksby's Walk in Hackney. This space is
shared with the organisation nodnowhere and includes office, storage, and meeting space.
Storage space and office setup were completed during 2022123. The space is owned by
Kate Parker and has been rented to us at a low cost, reducing our overall expenditure for
stOTag¢ and a fonn¢r offic¢ spacc. During this year wc complctcd many of the necessary flle safety
checks and improved our access to the collection by having a regular opening day on Tuesday's.
In 2024125 distribution has remained at a consistent level as the Working Group has continued to
research and re-establish connections lost with many of the filmmakers and organisations.
5. Financial review
Results for the year we added £1,175 to our unrestricted reserves.
Income was generated from film sales and hires and co-sharing space withlnowhere and a grant from
Arts Council England.
Income was £30.622 (2024: £32,802) and expenditure was £31,429 (2024: £32,751) mainly
on the project the Work We Share,, spending our restricted reserves brought fornard for the
project. Reserves at the end of the year were Unrestricted £3 8,026 (2024: £3 6,852) and
Restricted £Nil (2024: £1,982) totalling £38,027 (2024: £J 8,834). The charity has
assessed risks and concludes that as the charity is administered voluntarily.
running costs are low and Ihe r¢scrv¢s are adequat¢ to continue thc charity as a going concem.
6. Plans for future
eriods
A key objective for 2024125 and beyond is to address the organisation's physical archive (not
including films and video in distribution) to res&qrch and develop a database and access solutions for
film and paper archive materials. We successfulIy' applicd to the BFI National Lott¢ry Scre¢n Hcritage
Fund to support the work of designing a nev*, website and integrated database system.
There is an ongoing commitment to the preservation of the collection's film and video materials, and
there will be an emphasis on fundraising geared toward pres￿atiOn grants and partnerships with other
organisations. We will store some of our film prints at London Scre¢n Archive managed by Screen
Londoffj which is a member organisation.
Theie is an emphasis on future audience development and public programmes in the organisation's

Anotlier key goal is to bring new Trustees to the board and defme roles and responsibilities.
