Thanks to Film Hub South West\u2019s Bursary scheme,&nbsp;I was able to attend Open City Documentary Festival\u2019s Visual Anthropology and the City course, conducted by the wonderful Barbara Knorpp, and was given some valuable time to pause and reflect on a key tenant of my professional and personal self. I was able to consider why I&nbsp;programme, and ultimately, why I want to share films with others.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>I undertook this course with the intention of exposing myself to new ways of thinking and approaching film; to aid my professional appreciation for a variety of cinema. In doing so,&nbsp;I hoped to enjoy films without the pressure of having to&nbsp;programme&nbsp;them &#8211; without having to consume films as explicit tools of my creative practice and just enjoy them as&nbsp;contextualised&nbsp;art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In consciously considering how films can act as lanterns to illuminate experiences, cultures and emotions which are vastly different to my own,&nbsp;I have been able to reflect on my programming intentions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><cite>Megan Mitchell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I set out&nbsp;to develop&nbsp;my understanding of film history,&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;different modes and eras of filmmaking, and&nbsp;alternative&nbsp;cultures represented on-screen. I wanted to push myself in a formal setting past the&nbsp;types of&nbsp;cinema I would usually watch,&nbsp;and then ultimately&nbsp;programme&nbsp;them.&nbsp;In doing so,&nbsp;I learned that everything I do (linked to film or otherwise)&nbsp;will always come back to programming because it is my creative&nbsp;practice. In consciously considering how films can act as lanterns to illuminate experiences, cultures and emotions which are vastly different to my own,&nbsp;I have been able to reflect on my programming intentions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Each week I sat, virtually, with 30 people whose daytime professions were not film-related and enjoyed a nice mix of cinema looking at others, from&nbsp;Dziga&nbsp;Vertov\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Man with a Movie Camera<\/em>&nbsp;to Kim&nbsp;Longinotto\u2019s&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/fourthree.boilerroom.tv\/film\/shinjuku-boys\">Shinjuku Boys<\/a>,&nbsp;<\/em>and I immediately wanted to share what I had seen, what I had learned, and how it had all been communicated to me. The drag of the pandemic has taken some of the wind out of my programming sails, not because it\u2019s necessarily always harder to&nbsp;programme&nbsp;online practically or that it\u2019s also harder to feel the excitement of the collective experience, but because it wasn\u2019t a main concern of mine throughout the year &#8211; like everyone else I was simply trying to survive. And my survival involved sheltering from complex cinema, because if I didn\u2019t really want to feel my own emotions why would I want to feel others?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/watershed.co.uk\/filmhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5337\" width=\"748\" height=\"499\"\/><figcaption><em>Shinjuku Boys<\/em>, Dir.

At times that can be painful and I&nbsp;empathise&nbsp;with anyone whose intake of films, \u2018quality\u2019 or quantity, has taken a dip over the past year. In undertaking this course, in having the space to think on the \u2018why\u2019 of my programming I came to consider filmic anthropology as inhabiting the same realm of&nbsp;the&nbsp;sincere and&nbsp;the&nbsp;creative, and the&nbsp;need to seek understanding through observation as my own programming does. Having spent all of my life vocally opposing so much within the exhibition sector, including its elitism, lack of care and mismanagement of resources, rediscovering this truth about my own programming practice has been a more valuable outcome of the course than I could have ever imagined.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>By all rights, I should be sick of cinema by now, or at least&nbsp;desensitised, but I\u2019m not.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><cite>Megan Mitchell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking time as a programmer to examine our own intentions isn\u2019t something we\u2019re often prompted in the sector to do or grant ourselves time to do, even if Film Hubs will support us with bursaries to do so in a variety of ways, but it\u2019s important.

By all rights, I should be sick of cinema by now, or at least&nbsp;desensitised, but I\u2019m not.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although,&nbsp;sometimes,&nbsp;it takes a little unexpected push to remind me of that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what Knorpp\u2019s course did for me, it let me reveal the structural walls of my life, my career in exhibition, my use of programming as a creative practice<s>,<\/s>\u00a0as formed by films. Programming isn\u2019t simply about gathering films as tools with which we can generate box office, fill a weekly schedule with or address surface-level under-representation; films are embers around which we,\u00a0as programmers,\u00a0build the fires for our\u00a0audiences.\u00a0\u00a0<br>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/watershed.co.uk\/filmhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_20210530_143850-300x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5334\" width=\"225\" height=\"216\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-turquoise-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><em><strong>Megan Mitchell<\/strong> is <\/em>the<em> Producer of Matchbox Cine, and is currently PhD researching the role\/s of independent cinemas in the age of on-demand culture in partnership with Watershed<\/em>.<em> <br><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MatchboxCine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@MatchboxCine<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/meganwmglesga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Meganwmglesga<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-red-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><em>As a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/watershed.co.uk\/filmhub\/membership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">member<\/a>&nbsp;of Film Hub South West, you can apply for bursaries to support travel, accommodation, enrolment fees or accreditation costs to enable your attendance at relevant conferences, events and film festivals.
