The Right Now Film Festival comes to Exeter

The Right Now Film Festival is coming to the Exeter Phoenix.

The festival puts a spotlight on documentaries which focus on the global power structure and inequalities from all over the globe.

Festival director Tom Vaughan says “We were compelled to create a programme that brings together some of today’s biggest talking points, from the beginning of vital movements such as Black Lives Matter to the future of welfare and of course, the UK’s very own Brexit.

We believe in the power film has in educating and raising awareness, and that the best films can be an informative facilitator of social change. We look forward to screening the programme to audiences across the country”.

Screenings in Exeter will include the first film on Brexit, Brexitannia. The film takes a closer look at the individual stories of the people of Britain, as they made their decision in one of the most important referendums in our nation’s history.

Other films being shown are; A Cambodian Spring and For Akheem. These two films explore the lives of three people in the often-chaotic environment that is modern day Cambodia and the challenges that many black teenagers face in America today respectively.

The screenings will take place between 24th and 26th March.
