REDEYE is a not-for-profit organisation that curates film, art, and music events through the lens of public health, specifically the social determinants of health. We believe that how and where we spend time shapes our wellbeing, our relationships, and our futures.
We design experiences, not just events. Each screening is deepened by original artwork from collaborating fine artists, with postcard prints given to every attendee, alongside curated sound, scent, and free snacks provided by The Curators. These are deliberate choices to make you feel relaxed, present, and open to connection.
More than
a film club
The best part is our discussions. We place the audience at the centre of them, even when directors are in the room. Attendees move from passive viewers to active contributors, sharing how a work has landed for them, while filmmakers gain the rare opportunity to hear it. Our workshops go further, building the skills and confidence to not just engage with creative work, but to make it.
Across everything we do, we are strengthening social connections, demystifying creative practice, and expanding what people believe is possible for themselves. The result is a structure built event by event, that gives communities the knowledge, relationships, and confidence to build more sustainable lives.
MUSIC.
FILM.
ART.
Watch films with us.
REDEYE screenings are where you go for your dose of eclectic non-Western focused films. Unlike your local Cinema, our curated nights hit differently. We will refresh your creative palette with films from different cultures, experimental genres and contemporary stories. You’ll have discussions with other creatives, established directors and new filmmakers. However, most importantly, we want you to be yourself and be part of the creative conversation
Catch a vibe with us.
REDEYE “The Collective Joy of Listening” together, the way the musicians intended. Each session explores a specific theme that is responded to by a selector or curator. The journey and conversation uses sound to trace a personal or collective history, and context. We invite you to jurnal, take notes and listen deeply, not just to the music but the feelings and emotions it instigates within you.
We are particularly interested in learning about funding opportunities that could help us expand our work, reach a wider audience, and provide more opportunities for underrepresented groups. We’d love to hear from you.
