In this episode we talk to Simon Burton, founder and CEO of the Charity Film Awards, about how charities can use film to portray and amplify their work. Including:

 

-What is the aim of the Charity Film Awards and how did it come about?

-In what interesting ways have charity entrants to the competition been using video?

-Why is storytelling important for charities?

-Positive vs negative representations of charities and the people they serve: do upbeat messages work? Or are tragic images still the norm?

-Is it possible for organisations with limited resources to use video effectively as a tool?

-Will we see more charities engaging with video as a result of the enforced digital transformation brought about by Covid-19?

-Have any charities used short-form video and platforms like TikTok effectively?

-Are any charities using virtual and augmented reality or 360 video?

-How did the CFA turn itself into a virtual event in such a short space of time?

-Will we see virtual events becoming more the norm after the coronavirus situation is over?

-Are charities well-represented in mainstream screen media?

-Are there any good TV programmes, films about charities or philanthropy? If not, why not?
