people need to understand that just because me case was dismissed it doesn’t mean what i said wasn’t 100% the truth. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/d…

Only four percent of people win. Trying to get the system to sanction itself, however justified you might be and people usually are... Is like pissing in the wind 96% of the time. And still we try.

It can be incredibly difficult for an individual to prove discrimination & stressful to take an organisation to tribunal, most cases don't make it to to court. Meanwhile an independent review into @ace_national working culture raises many issues for global majority workers. (2/3)



With Pride coming up, how do we address arts organisations who have either no or ineffective policy & procedures to address transphobia & homophobia, yet benefit financially and reputationally from "LGBTQ friendly" programming, both internally and through external hires?

How does a cinema receive almost half a million pounds to engage with 'local communities', and title this work "Another Country"? 😐

any cinema manager heading out to Cannes (and seemingly bragging about it) while Front of House staff - who ARE your cinema - are looking at pay cuts and/or monthly hardships for the pleasure of working in a negative environment... it's not a good look


Famous film industry folk support cinema to remain in the hands of a chain which screens their premieres but what is Curzon's record of supporting their cinema staff and marginalised audiences?

1/ The concerns raised in this report point to why we need an independent anti racist reporting body. We frequently hear reports that industry workers feel discriminated against and fear reporting it will ‘damage’ their careers.


Why is Tyneside Cinema's temporary CEO, who was taken on at a higher salary (advertised as up to £90,000) than previous CEO's to implement the findings of the Independent Review in 2020, still overseeing Tyneside cinema over two years later?


There's definitely a need for some critical thinking around cinema and funding deficits at the moment. It's easy to get swept up in nostalgia, but we need to focus on the future of how are cinemas are run right now.


It's sad this platform is going to shit - it's been instrumental in supporting activism & marginalised voices. Amongst other bollocks we are going to be left with prominent arts & film organisations just spouting and retweeting self-congratulatory bullshit into the ether.
