Due to the Coronavirus pandemic the Trustees communicated by electronic means during the year to monitor the operation of the Swindon Viewpoint service and advance the aims of Community Media locally.
The pandemic and resulting lockdowns forced us to suspend or heavily reduce our activities during most of this report period. Work with community groups and individuals on issues of importance to them primarily involves social contact, which were either not possible or seen as risky by potential participants as well as ourselves; our activity has therefore focussed more on social media activity. We did however manage to support the Save Swindon Oasis campaign, this was possible because the participants held an outdoor event, which we were safely able to record, including a number of video interviews.
Without much new programming we have taken the opportunity to redistribute programming from some years back via social media. This has proven very popular, and helps maintain an interest in the service as well as the wider community and its social and cultural life. A small number of previously undistributed archive films were restored, digitised and again made available to the public, these included historic footage of the development of the town.
We have not yet succeeded in raising sufficient funding to cover the demands of project coordination and delivery, including for external film-maker/trainers and were therefore not able to embark on desired initiatives in this area.
It remains particularly crucial for Viewpoint to raise funding to rebuild our website www.swindonviewpoint.com. This is now more than fourteen years old, built on an obsolete platform (Drupal) and no longer functions, so we are primarily distributing via other platforms at present (Vimeo, Facebook and Twitter).
Our main source of funding over the past few years has been from DVD sales of the Films ' Railway Town ' and ' Fire and Steel ' and income from this source has been substantial, but as expected this is now tailing off.
