FEDS International offers FEDS alumni the chance to secure a short-term placement with an international exhibition partner, providing an opportunity to develop their skills and understanding of the wider exhibition sector, forge connections with international colleagues and build on their past FEDS experience. In this blog, Patrice Robinson (Cinema Assistant at the Barbican) discusses their recent placement at the 17th Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival and what their trip showed them about the Caribbean film industry today.

Patrice Robinson, Cinema Assistant at the Barbican, writes about first watching Maangamizi: The Ancient One, a 2001 Tanzanian film that will screen on the 31st July at the Barbican, which caused her to reflect on her own identity as a member of the African diaspora and the obstacles to visibility and availability that African films continue to face.

Our FEDS Trainee Scheme is at the forefront of changing and diversifying our film industry. The scheme offers participants a ten-month long paid traineeship in the exhibition sector, as well as mentoring and expert industry advice. Our 2020 cohort saw their placements delayed for over a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but finally began their traineeships this summer. In this blog, we hear from Patrice Robinson about the work she did on this year's Leytonstone Loves Film festival, as part of her placement at the Barbican.
