We’ve all got an image that pops into our head when we think about what a ‘working class film’ might look like, and for most of us, it’s a vision firmly drawn from the past.
What these films uncover are working class experiences that are rich in creativity, complications, uncertainties and contradictions: the very things that make a film worth watching. This programme of shorts, selected by filmmaker and curator Nia Childs, is for anyone who wants to explore working class Britain as it is and imagines itself to be, in the hope of discovering something new.

A selection of recent short films that starts a conversation about how working class filmmakers are capturing the working class experience in the Britain of today, spanning documentaries, flights of fancy and realism.
