Join Cables & Cameras and guests for a takeover of Watershed from Sat 25 – Mon 27 Sept online and in-venue. You can expect box fresh perspectives and films by Black and POC creatives that provoke and inspire; from Award-winning creative and marketing professional Jay Davidson to filmmakers including Michael Jenkins (Blak Wave), The Williams Brothers (MANDEM) and Teddy Nygh (PRU, Exposed).

Over the three days, there will be a whole range of conversations, screenings and webinars that will explore Black/POC culture and talent both in front of and behind the camera and ask questions such as: how do we understand our own power?; how do we navigate and develop practices that not only makes space for us and our stories but also encourages collaborations and paves the way for the next generation of creatives?; and why is it key for Black/POC led organisations and creatives to be active in nurturing and commissioning up-and-coming talent from those communities?
Join us in finding some of the answers and raising the questions that will help build Black and POC communities and creative careers into a sustainable future. The INSPIRED Takeover will feature contributions from MANDEM, Bristol Black Horror Club, Fully Focussed and Cinema GOLAU to name a few of the creative organisations involved.

Helping financial service providers respond to FCA guidance and rise to the challenge of supporting those in vulnerable circumstances.
How do you support customers in vulnerable circumstances? How do you meet FCA guidance on this? How can you embed a culture of customer-centricity that ensures you design for all customers now and in the future?

Join us on 30th September for a fun and inspirational talk by leading brand strategist, Andy Nairn.
Andy is the founder of top creative agency Lucky Generals and has been named the UK’s #1 strategist for the last 3 years running.
Hot off the press, Andy’s just launched his first book ‘Go Luck Yourself’ which is all about how you can stack the odds in your brands’ favour. In the book, Andy draws on everything from architecture to zoology, as well as almost 30 years working with some of the most successful companies on the planet, to provide a series of thought-provoking strategies that will help anyone responsible for building a brand.
Truth be told, fortune plays a part in every success story – and every failure. Andy’s book shows you how to uncover your organisation’s hidden treasures; how to spot opportunities in unexpected places; how to turn misfortune into good fortune; and how to practise being lucky, every day. For an extra bit of karma, he’s giving all his royalties to Commercial Break, a charity that helps working class kids get a lucky break into the creative industry.
We’re thrilled that Andy’s joining us on 30th September to talk about ‘Go Luck Yourself’. You’ll be glad to know that his talk doesn’t involve any slides but is fun and interactive, so come prepared for a stimulating and informative session. Who knows, it could be your lucky day!
