Making our events work for you

In just under a week, the full programme for this year’s Take One Action Film Festival will be accessible for anyone in the UK to experience in full.

We’ve been working towards making our organisation, our programme and our events more inclusive and accessible. What does this mean for those who want to join in?

We are committed to foregrounding the experiences and expertise of people from the majority world and people of colour, in our programme and among our guests. We’re excited to be welcoming campaigners and filmmakers from many different parts of the globe.
All the films in our programme will be presented with closed captions for D/deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.
All our Q&As will be fully captioned – by a (super)human, not some software that can’t cope with Scottish accents! (This provision is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI.)
Three of our live Q&As (for the films Coded Bias, Pier Kids and Radio Silence) will be presented with BSL interpretation.
In My Blood It Runs is available with Audio Description.
All our films are accessible on a pay-what-you-can basis – or you can gift access to any title in our line-up to a friend!
All the Q&As and workshops are free to attend.

We know that digital doesn’t mean universal. We don’t want lack of access to data to be a barrier: find out about our Digital Access Fund below – and help us spread the word.

If there are any other ways we can make our events work better for you this year or in the future, please get in touch with our Access & Engagement Coordinator, Emrys Mordin.

We hope you (and your friends!) can join us online from next Wednesday, for 12 days of inspiring films and calls to action.

Take a seat. Take a stand.

Film Synopsis: The Fever

Director: Katharina Weingartner | Countries of production: Austria, Germany, Switzerland | Year: 2019 | Length: 99 min
Language: English, Chinese (Mandarin), Luganda, Luo with English subtitles | Age: 12+ years

The Covid crisis – and the rush for a vaccine – has overshadowed many other health emergencies around the world. Despite millions of pounds of investment and decades of medical research, malaria still accounts for the deaths of at least half a million people every year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. The cost of treatment, when it is available, traps families in a cycle of illness, suffering and poverty, while the wider impact of the illness has continued to negatively affect the health of many national economies. Yet nobody in the pharmaceutical industry, the World Health Organisation, or its biggest donor, the Gates Foundation, seems to trust – or fund –African scientists to develop their own solutions.

The Fever, however, provides a hopeful account of the work carried out by researchers and health practitioners in Kenya and Uganda, who are determined to challenge the colonialist dynamics of global health and develop local solutions. This is a study of greed and courage – the outcome of which could save millions of lives.

Content notes:
Contains references to and personal accounts of child and infant mortality.

Screening as part of TOAFF20

THE FEVER: LIVE Q&A

As The Fever illustrates, global aid budgets and advances in medical innovation still leave millions of people around the world suffering and dying from treatable conditions. How can health inequalities be redressed? Join guests including representatives from Global Justice Now live at 20:30 on Thursday 24th September for a conversation about global health, Big Pharma and how to lay the ground for a radically different future.

All our Q&As are free to attend, though pre-registration is required.

Booking Information

How to watch
This film is available to watch at any time between 00:00 on 16 September and 23:59 on 27 September.

To enjoy the full “live screening” experience, we recommend you:

Book your ticket for the film in advance.
Register your place for the live Q&A (taking place 8.30-9.15 on Thur 24 September)
Start playing the film at 6.45pm on Thur 24 September
Join us for the live Q&A straight after, at 8:30pm

Ticket prices

Digital events still require a lot of work behind the scenes, and hosting digital screenings incurs significant costs. To reflect this, our recommended ticket price is £7, however we are operating a “sliding scale” ticket policy (thanks to SQIFF for leading the way) whereby audience members choose what to pay based on personal circumstances, from £2 upwards. We don’t ask for any proof or ID – we just ask you to please be honest, so that this model can be sustainable for us as a small independent charity. For further guidance on price levels, please refer to our website.

We don’t want price to be a barrier to access our festival. If you require free access, please contact freetickets@takeoneaction.org.uk, indicating the title of the film you wish to watch.

All live workshops and Q&As will be free to access.
