Kurdish Creative Film Centre

KCFC was founded to educate and engage the region’s large Kurdish Community in the medium of film. Through the provision and development of filmmaking skills, the organisation wishes to provide fellow Kurds with the means through which to record their experiences and express their cultural identities. But we do not exist in isolation. Our training is open and available to all. We wish to encourage collaboration and creative crossover between the many culturally diverse communities of the region, and to provide a platform for those voices.

Aims

To serve people from Kurdish communities and new Migrant who wish to gain a foothold in the film industry, through the provision of film, and to initiate creative and educational outreach projects in local communities, and to build relationships with other companies and organisations wherever mutual benefit may be served.

The objectives of KCFC shall be:

To promote social justice and proactively encourage inclusiveness.

To promote equality and challenge inequality

To provide skills and support the personal development of individuals and groups from culturally diverse communities

To build capacity to support sustainability

To become a self-sustaining entity.

To continue to run and to expand the Manchester Kurdish Film Festival, a platform for Kurdish film, art, and music, both as an annual event in Manchester, and as a touring programme, to be made available to other festivals and arts venues.

To expand our film production from shorts to features, and thereafter to make one long film (be it a feature or a documentary) and several short films every year.

To establish closer links between the British and Kurdish filmmaking communities, and to become a distributor / agency for Kurdish films in Europe

To facilitate KCFC activity in other regions of the UK, with the ultimate goal of an office in Kirkuk, Kurdistan.
