SECOND LIGHT
Actor Atta Yaqub was announced as Patron of GMAC's new apprenticeship scheme Second Light: "I'm proud to be patron of Second Light because it is an opportunity for young people who are under represented in the media to develop skills and contacts to pursue a career in TV and film" (Atta Yaqub)
Second Light is about supporting Black and Minority Ethnic filmmakers aged between 18 and 25, a group currently underrepresented in the film industry, and aims to open up the industry to a wider, diverse pool of talent which can more accurately reflect UK society.
This once in a lifetime opportunity will provide 10 young filmmakers with free training, industry placements and professional mentor support to help them move into the screen industries, culminating in the production of a graduation film to be premiered in 2011.
CAFÉ FLICKER
See your films on the big screen? Join GMAC for CAFÉ FLICKER the 1st Wednesday of every month (next screening Wednesday 3rd February) for our screening and networking event. Please submit any work you would like to have screened in advance. Screenings from 7pm-10pm
For twenty-six years GMAC has supported and developed independent film makers and the community through access to low cost facilities, equipment and high quality training and production opportunities.
GMAC provides a central space and resource for all people interested in film and media. The organisation aims to be a bridge between local communities and the screen industries by providing opportunities and accessible resources for all.
GMAC is a significant partner in the development and nurturing of new film making talent from across Scotland and has a strong track record in supporting access to the film industry through its multi award winning short film production initiatives. It also provides training, low cost hire of production facilities and equipment and networking events such a 'Café Flicker' which enables filmmakers to screen their work and discuss it with other film makers. An important strand of GMAC's work is carried out by the '2nd Unit', which enables individuals, groups and organisations who are under represented to gain access to moving image media through training, workshops and support to make their own films.
The enhanced surroundings and resources at GMAC's new home in Trongate 103 will enable the organisation to provide a better and more accessible service to wide range of participants and audiences.
