Diversity Films

Diversity Films CIC is a new community interest company working in communities to nurture, train and develop a new generation of filmmakers. We are a creatively led organisation based in Woodlands, Glasgow and aim to work with a diverse range of people through our new filmmakers development projects, to build capacity of local people in different communities in Glasgow and to equip them with the skills, motivation and opportunity to create short films and digital content for multi-platform distribution and exhibition, including local community screenings, TV and internet broadcast, mobile phones and international cinema screens.

Diversity Films was established in April 2007 by a group of experienced media professionals with the initial aim of building filmmaking skills, resources and creative confidence in communities which may benefit from the film, television, video and multimedia experience we can offer.

We are currently working primarily in the Greater Easterhouse and Scotstounhill areas of Glasgow, with partners Platform, Innerzone and Kingsway Health and Wellbeing Centre, to provide training, mentoring and film production equipment to community groups with the aim of creating sustainable film units in the areas which the groups will gain the skills to drive themselves.

Diversity Films aim to roll out their activities in further areas in Glasgow and beyond in due course.
