FILM AND VIDEO UMBRELLA 

Film and Video Umbrella works with museums, galleries and other cultural partners to commission, produce, curate and present artists' moving-image works for diverse audiences across the UK. Our outreach work focusses on audiences in areas where arts provision and engagement levels are low. We work closely with artists to support, develop and expand their practice.
