Ways for Bradford schools to get involved

Programme of Events
16 – 22 June 2025

  • Refugee Week Film Programme

    16 – 22 JUNE

    This year, Counterpoints Arts and Other Cinemas – two organisations who work across intersections of racial justice, migration, and climate – have collaborated on a film programme for a community-powered week! 

    The programme, curated by Other Cinemas, consists of 5 shorts and 2 feature length films that explore the theme of #communityasasuperpower. From emergency responders in El Salvador supporting their communities in crisis to the familiar smell and taste of home to bring comfort, these films invite us to celebrate the diverse way we build and sustain our communities.
