SFF / SSFF ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Name: Slow Short Film Festival / Slow Film Festival Charity no: 1178283 Public address: Warren House, The Warren, Mayfield, TN20 6UB Trustees: Chris Edgar Lyle, Peter Edmund Treherne, Jack Barrinton Durman, Nathaniel Barrington Durman
Charity Structure:
Chris Lyle acts as Chairman and advises Peter Treherne (Festival Director) on how to arrange the various festivals and events that the charity runs. The other trustee members, Jack Durman and Nat Durman, organise the marketing, publicity and projection for the various events. All four trustees were the initial trustees that founded the charity. No further trustees have been added.
Activities and Objectives:
The charity aimed to expand its engagement with the British Public over the course of 2020. The charity achieved this by running the annual festival online so that the wider British Public could access the exhibited artwork during the pandemic.
Achievements and Performance:
The annual festival was a huge improvement upon the previous year. Q&As with guest filmmakers were streamed online for accessibility and over 8,000 individuals accessed the content during the festival. The festival also commissioned two artists to make work in the village of Mayfield so that the usual place where the festival takes place was represented during the online event.
Financial Review:
We had an income of £8281 over the course of 2020. Our outgoings came to £3705. This left us with a reserve of £4576 which we used to maintain our website and social media presence, and which funded an online festival in 2021 (a year in which we received no income, in part because of COVID).
No funds are held by a custodian trustee.
