Job description

The successful candidate will work with us on our mission to champion marginalised perspectives in cinema, connecting with audiences through community-building events and conversation.

We work with Impact Producers across the UK to decentralise the curation of Reclaim The Frame, in recognition that impactful connections and outreach is best achieved through local relationships and lived experiences in the areas and cities we work in.

The role of each Impact Producer is to creatively input and effectively deliver local marketing and outreach activity and events in your nation/region as part of our audience-facing project in support of our aim to champion support films by filmmakers of marginalised genders, and build a community for those who make, show, release and watch them.

In addition to a team of regional Impact Producers based in Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the Midlands, South East, North West and Yorkshire we’re looking to recruit an Impact Producer for the South West, primarily to work with our partner venues Plymouth Arts Cinema, Exeter Phoenix and Watershed.

• Freelance contract, fixed term until 31 March 2026
• Up to 3 days per month, on a campaign basis, worked flexibly to meet the needs of the campaign
• Remote with attendance at events in Plymouth/Exeter/Bristol required.
• Input on team discussions around Reclaim The Frame campaigns, regarding framing, approach and communications;
• Represent and lead on Reclaim The Frame for audiences in your region – this includes encouraging e-news sign ups, social media follows, and new and repeat developing audiences for RTF events and supported films more broadly;
• Where activated to do local marketing and outreach, lead on effective promotion, signposting to and in liaison with your partner cinemas, and with regional partners more broadly;
• Liaise with Reclaim The Frame and your cinema partner on event production, logistics, guest list and ensuring events are as accessible as possible;
• Host events as requested, either providing introductions and/or facilitating Q&As/conversations/other activity;
• Work to ensure events are captured – through photos, on social media, relaying feedback and inputting e-news subscriber emails and survey data;
• Update Reclaim The Frame on outreach engagement biweekly during campaigns and provide a brief report on the impact of your work/activity on that campaign.

Person specifications

• A keen passion for film and its potential to make change

• Initiative to work under your own steam
• Capacity to be flexible with commitments including evening and weekend work
• Commitment to participate in Reclaim The Frame curatorial/communications catch-ups

We understand that you may not have strong experience in all these areas but would nevertheless urge you to apply if you believe you have the capability and interest in rapidly building those missing skills to deliver on this role. We are seeking someone with experience around film and/or cultural activism, who can bring their unique perspective to the work of the charity.
