Carefree, childlike wonder and freedom of expression have proven to be sparse attributes in characterisations of Black childhood on British screens.

In this blog we hear from Jodie Wilkinson, Public Engagement Coordinator for Glasgow Film, about how they built a dementia-friendly film community through their Movie Memories engagement programme. Jodie discusses the practical steps they took in researching and creating the programme, offers some tips on running your own dementia-friendly screenings based on their learnings, and shares a method of evaluating the social value of programmes like this - which can be a useful tool when applying for future funding.
