Get involved

Square Lens Alliance is a community of filmmakers, creatives and media professionals in Calderdale and across the North. Here’s how you can take part.

Open now

Open Call: Your work. Our screen.

We want to see what you’ve been making. We’re inviting SLA members to submit their own work to be screened at future Square Lens Alliance events.

Film, short film, documentary, animation, experimental, music video or anything else audiovisual: if you made it, we’d love to see it.

What we’ll ask for:

Your name
The title of the work
What kind of piece it is
The running time
A preview link

It only takes a couple of minutes. Submitting doesn’t guarantee a screening, but we’ll be in touch if we think your work could be a good fit for a future event.

Meet the Community

Meet the Community is our ongoing series introducing SLA members: who they are, what they’re working on and who they’d like to connect with. Features go out on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, our newsletter and the Meet the Community section of this website.
