Cast & Crew
JAY PLATT
TECHNICAL SERVICES COORDINATOR
‘One of my favourite community cinema experiences was when Film Unit screened They Will Have to Kill Us First, a documentary about Malian musicians coming together to organise a music festival in spite of a national ban on music. After the film there was a Q+A and live session with Songhoy Blues, one of the film’s featured bands. Everyone in the room was absorbed by the film, the music, and most importantly the atmosphere of the evening.’
Jay was on the committee of Film Unit, the student cinema at the University of Sheffield (and the 2016 winner of Cinema For All’s Best Student Cinema award!). He was in charge of organising various special screenings and events that Film Unit was involved with. After completing a Master's degree he worked as a projectionist at the Showroom cinema before joining the Cinema For All team in October 2017.
