partner Event

This International Women’s Day, join Changing Relations’ creative team for the big screen premiere of our brand new stage-to-screen film, A is for Amy.

We’re hugely grateful to the recently restored historic venue, Redhills Durham Miners’ Hall for hosting us as we invite friends and supporters to celebrate this significant milestone.

With the government’s Violence Against Women and Girls’ Strategy (released just before Christmas) emphasising prevention and education, A is for Amy is absolutely on point: this term sees us trialling a learning programme based around it which will support young people to recognise the red flags of toxic teen relationships and understand the pathways to specialist support.

As such, we’re delighted to be joined for a post-film Q&A by:

• Our Managing Director, Lisa Charlotte Davis
• Our incredible writer-director, Zoe Murtagh
• One of the educators involved in using A is for Amy as a school learning resource, Val Bainbridge
• Some of the wonderful young people from Creative Youth Opportunities who shaped the look of the film and the objectives included in the learning programme for their peers

This is a brilliant opportunity to get an insight into our coproduction process and learn about the invaluable resource that will be more widely available in the next academic year.

Harbour Support Services will also be present in case anyone would like more information about the specialist support available for young people affected by domestic abuse in our area.

There will be chance to mingle with like-minded folk both before and after, as the bar will be open from 7pm. The screening itself will start at 7.30pm.
