About S.O.U.L. Fest x ABFF Global London 2025
S.O.U.L. Fest is one of the U.K.'s leading black British film festivals and once again brings its prestigious annual short film selection to MAC. This is a rare chance to see some of the best short films by black British filmmakers available in 2025.
7pm - 7.50pm: ARC HOUSE Panel Discussion
ARC HOUSE, a network and platform supporting Black and global majority creatives and industry professionals in the West Midlands, is proud to host a dynamic panel at S.O.U.L. Fest Birmingham. ARC HOUSE advisory board members Rem Conway, Rhianna Adams-Christie, Madeleine Kludje and S.O.U.L. Fest founder Iyare Igiehon will explore the question: “What if we stopped chasing visibility and started building versatility?” - inviting us to rethink representation by focusing not just on being seen, but on actively shaping spaces, skills and opportunities that empower our communities.
