Women's film screening set to mark International Women's Month in Mansfield

The film festival's community engagement lead, Priya Joshi, was approached by the Art Power – based at Mansfield Museum – cultural services team.

Priya has worked closely with the organisation to curate a season of women's voices, which aims to bring female-led films to the community through this collaborative event.

Festival director Jay Martin said: “Priya and the Art Power team are doing a special screening for the group as well.

“It is great that the festival has a women-led programme and event with women leading on it.”

On joining the team, Priya said: “So, last year I attended the film festival and just had the best time.

“I feel super lucky to be working on the team this year.”

Priya connects with her community through networking and partnerships, with her role ranging from arranging and attending meetings, corresponding through emails and calls, and linking up with community-focused organisations interested in film.
