Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The Kings Lynn Film Festival objectives are to:- promote appreciation of, and education in, the arts and crafts and their associated technologies in relation to cinema and other forms of moving images by staging an annual film festival and educational events and activities in association with this. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
King’s Lynn Film Festival commenced its activities in 2015, with a weekend festival of film screenings and young person’s film-making workshops. A decision was made at that stage to run the Festival every 2 years, so the next edition was in 2017, again featuring a programme of film over a weekend, plus additional activities including a young person’s workshop. These served to meet the KLFF objectives of promoting an appreciation of film as an art form, and providing a specific opportunity to engage with new audiences such as young people. The 2019 edition of the Festival was postponed in order to review our offer and give it wider appeal. However, our plans for 2020 were disrupted by the covid pandemic, and the Festival is now due to return in late 2023. We have not undertaken any specific activities, received any income, or incurred any expenditure within the year 2022-23 covered by this report. Generally, our activities have been given a good profile locally through the media and through our own communications activities, helping to establish the KLFF as part of the wider arts |
| and cultural offering in King’s Lynn and West Norfolk. |
