”THIS WAS A REALLY EYE OPENING, INSPIRING EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I MET OTHER YOUNG FILMMAKERS AND MADE SOME GREAT NEW FRIENDS WHO I WOULDN’T HAVE OTHERWISE MET. THERE’S NOTHING LIKE THIS IN BIRMINGHAM AND I’M SO GRATEFUL IT EXISTS”

SUMMARY

In 2023 Flatpack celebrated 20 years of one-of-a-kind, DIY film events across the Midlands and beyond. What began as a film night in a local pub has grown to include a celebrated international festival, year-round events bringing local communities together and a portfolio of heritage projects exploring the rich history of Birmingham.

Flatpack’s agile, versatile approach enables us to reach different audiences across the region (over 23,000!) while limiting environmental impact.

Packing a huge range of activity from 144 events at 32 venues into a just few pages, this annual report outlines highlights and achievements from the past year, including:

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER

WALDORF CINEMA CLUB

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER

In June 2022 we worked with Birmingham Indian Film Festival to transform a Hindu temple in Sparkbrook back into a cinema for the day, 40 years after it closed its doors as the Waldorf Cinema. The event was a resounding success, with pleas for more of the same, so for spring/ summer 2023 we launched Waldorf Cinema Club. Members of the local community attended the club for a surprise film, special guests and a chance to chat and reminisce over free chai.

OUTDOOR CINEMA

We packed in a lot of al fresco cinema this year. Folk and aquatic horror at Dudley Castle, forest sprites and cat buses at Botanical Gardens and free neighbourhood events in parks across Birmingham. The scene setting and wraparound activity made these events extra special, whether that be spoken word and live music or beautiful lighting projections combined with atmospheric soundtracks.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022/23 — P.16

“HAD A REALLY WELCOMING AND HEART-WARMING EXPERIENCE CONNECTING TO OTHER PEOPLE AND CULTURES IN BRUM”

WALDORF CINEMA CLUB ATTENDEE

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER

BALSALL HEATH BAZAAR

Summer 2023 also saw the return of the Balsall Heath Bazaar in collaboration with Sähëlï Hub. The programme included an art market, live music, a talent show, free food, zine workshops with artist Gugan Gill, plant and seed giveaways from Fruit & Nut Village and a reading corner and book swap with Back to Books Brum.

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER

TWENTY YEARS OF 7INCH CINEMA

The first seedlings of Flatpack Festival were sown in June 2003, when a new film night launched at the recently-rejuvenated Rainbow pub in Digbeth. 2023 marked 20 years of bringing people together to watch unique films in unlikely places. We celebrated with a throwback evening of locally made shorts alongside pre-YouTube online discoveries, archive oddities, DJs and live scores.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022/23 — P.18

“7 INCH CINEMA GIGS ARE SOME OF THE BEST TIMES I’VE HAD IN BIRMINGHAM. IT PRESENTED A NEW WORLD OF NETWORKS IN A NEW CITY. I HAD GREAT FUN SOCIALISING, WATCHING AND EXPERIMENTING - THE VIBE WAS AWESOME. EVENTS LIKE THESE HELP YOU TO FIND YOUR ‘CREW’ OF PEOPLE - A PLACE TO FEEL AT HOME” SIMA GONSAI, FILMMAKER AND EARLY DAYS 7INCH ATTENDEE

NURTURING CREATIVITY

BUILD YOUR OWN FILM NIGHT

Our film exhibition development scheme saw fifty 16-25 year olds plan, propgramme and produce their own film events, including:

NURTURING CREATIVITY

COLOUR BOX

Our monthly family screenings in partnership with Midlands Arts Centre continue to go from strength to strength, growing a loyal audience. Families can watch non-mainstream films in a relaxed cinema environment and take part in creative workshops led by artists and filmmakers, using their imaginations to bring the magic of cinema to life.

WE CALLED IT CAGES

We teamed up with The GAP for an evening of film and poetry curated by the GAP’s Culture Collective, a group of young people who meet regularly to explore, express and experiment with their ideas in a safe space. The evening included a first time screening of Birmingham-based poet Zakariye’s short spoken word film Cages.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022/23 — P.20

”HAD A NEW EXPERIENCE WITH MY DAUGHTER. HER FIRST CINEMA EXPERIENCE.”

ILLUMINATING PLACE

WONDERLAND

Autumn 2022 saw the culmination of Flatpack’s hugely popular Wonderland exhibition at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, including numerous school visits and a city-wide treasure hunt. The project has continued to evolve, with a team of volunteers and interns helping to develop our online resource and neighbourhood cinema walks taking place across the city. The Wonderland archive has helped support campaigns to protect cinemas at risk including Sutton Empire and the Electric, demonstrating the vital community role of these venues.

BHTV

We were delighted to be part of the Living Room project at Moseley Road Baths, producing an enormous retro TV installation in the empty Gala Pool and using it to screen a selection of family films and Balsall Heath archive material for over 2000 visitors. The project was a fun, interactive way of sharing hyperlocal content, and became a focal point of the Living Room programme.

SPOTLIGHT

Since 2016 Flatpack have led on a series of place-based interventions, collaborating with local partners to boost film culture and spark sustainable activity. Recognising this approach as a model of good practice, in 2023 the BFI rolled out Spotlight to Film Hubs across the UK. The initiative creates the space to focus on a particular area for three years, and in Flatpack’s case we have begun to build a range of partnerships with exhibitors and community groups in Staffordshire.

“FLATPACK’S COMMISSION WAS THE BEATING HEART OF THE PROJECT, PROVIDING AN EVER-CHANGING LENS TO INFORM AND ENTERTAIN OUR VISITORS FROM BALSALL HEATH AND BEYOND, ENRICH OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS AND TRULY TURN THE EDWARDIAN SWIMMING POOL INTO A ‘LIVING ROOM.” TIM HODGSON, TICKER TAPE PRODUCTIONS

MAKING IT HAPPEN

WHO WE ARE

Flatpack is a mobile arts organisation born out of a monthly film and mixed-media night in Digbeth. Every May you’ll find us taking over venues across Birmingham with the “magnificently eclectic” Flatpack Festival, while throughout the year we pop up across the Midlands with everything from family activities to al fresco horror. Our mission? To enrich people’s lives through imaginative film events.

FILM HUB MIDLANDS

MAKING IT HAPPEN

Flatpack is a lead partner in Film Hub Midlands, an initiative as part of the BFI Film Audience Network to develop a thriving film culture in the Midlands, and among other things this means working with partners across the region, sending out monthly Filmwire bulletins and breeding the next generation of exhibitors through Build Your Own Filmnight.

INNOVATIVE PRACTICE

We’re committed to continued development and innovation in order to care for our staff, stakeholders and planet. In 2022-23 we took part in the UK’s 4 day week pilot programme, a coordinated, 6-month trial of a 32-hour week, with no reduction in pay or benefits for staff, and have now permanently implemented this new way of working. We also trialled our first battery-powered cinema screenings in parks around the Midlands.

THE TEAM

Everything we do at Flatpack is achieved with a core team of six staff members alongside a pool of freelancers and volunteers.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022/23 — P.24

“LIKE MANY OTHER ORGANISATIONS, WE’VE REFLECTED ON HOW INCLUSIVE WE ARE AND OVERHAULING HOW WE DO THINGS, WHICH HAS INCLUDED SOME OPEN AND HONEST CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WORKLOAD AND OFFICE CULTURE. RUNNING A FESTIVAL IS EXCITING AND REWARDING, BUT INVOLVES PERIODS OF VERY INTENSIVE WORK. WE WANTED TO EXPLORE WAYS OF OFFERING BALANCE IN THE FACE OF THIS, AND REMOVE BARRIERS FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT FIND A TYPICAL 40 HOUR WEEK CHALLENGING.” ABBE ELLISTON, HEAD OF OPERATIONS AT FLATPACK

Flatpack Projects is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, reg no 1162754

Our core funders are Arts Council England and the British Film Institute. In partnership with Broadway in Nottingham, Flatpack also co-lead Film Hub Midlands as part of the BFI Film Audience Network. Along with core funding and earned income, Flatpack’s work would not be possible without the support of a huge range of partners, trusts & foundations and cultural institutes. In 2022/23, these included:

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
