Voodoo Visions Film Club (VVFC) is a Black cultural group building a community of Black dreamers, DIYers, filmmakers, curators and programmers with shared history, experiences and interests.

We aim to facilitate a programme of cultural events and screenings. VVFC is a space to dream, create, preserve and archive Black cultural memory.

VVFC will centre BPOC Scottish experiences, histories and interests in a safe and inclusive space. In doing this, we will seed, nuture and grow our community with care, love and respect. For those who have been before us, for those here with us, and for those who will follow.

Application Hub is a peer-support collective for artists and creatives to support the hidden and unpaid labour of being an artist. These monthly sessions take the power of body doubling to run as a two-hour focus group using a gentle Pomodoro structure: we’ll set goals together, do short bursts of deep work, check in with each other, and end with a short moment to decompress.
