It drives growth across hospitality, tourism, retail, construction, transport, skills, education and the wider visitor economy. Each production brings visible and invisible value — supporting local businesses, attracting inward investment, and strengthening the cultural identity of place.The evening will feature a screening of a selection of short films curated by Film Hub North. The films include Meat Raffle by Stuart Armstrong, Safe by Debbie Howard, Giants by Andy Berriman and Rocket Fuel by Jordon Scott Kennedy. The screening will be accompanied with an audience Q&A and a DJ, drinks and networking.The Opportunity Ahead is Even Greater.The North has the talent, the landscapes, the audiences, the institutions and the creative ambition to become one of the most significant screen regions in Europe. The question is how we come together to fully realise that potential — and ensure it is shared across the region.We are delighted to welcome speakers from Film Hub North and Screen Yorkshire, including Jen Bradfield (Film Hub North) and Caroline Cooper-Charles (Screen Yorkshire), who will share insight into the scale of the opportunity ahead and the practical steps needed to ensure the North competes confidently on a national and international stage. We will also hear from award-winning filmmakers discussing working in the region.Together, We’ll Explore:• Economic impact across hospitality, tourism, retail & supply chains• Coordinated messaging to strengthen the North’s global positioning• Infrastructure needs — studios, space, skills & production capacity• Business development, talent pipelines & IP growth• Building a connected, sustainable screen ecosystemThis is about more than attracting productions — it’s about building the conditions for sustained cultural and economic growth. Places where talent stays, businesses scale, stories are developed, and creative careers thrive.The North has often been seen as a backdrop for storytelling. The opportunity now is to strengthen its role as a centre of production, ownership and creative leadership.Event Schedule• 18:00–19:00 — Arrival, talks from Film Hub North & Screen Yorkshire• 19:00–20:00 — Screening and Filmmaker Q&A• 20:00–Late — Networking, DJ & drinksIf we want the North to compete globally, we need collaboration that turns individual strengths into collective momentum — and a shared ambition that matches the scale of what’s possible.Agenda🕑: 06:00 PM - 07:00 PMArrival, talks from Film Hub North & Screen Yorkshire🕑: 07:00 PM - 08:00 PMScreening and Filmmaker Q&A🕑: 08:00 PMNetworking, DJ & drinks - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/york/reignite-xvi-screen-industries-and-the-north/100001993447359715 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, business, performances, art, theatre, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: City Screen Picturehouse - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: York - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: City Screen Picturehouse - **lat**: 53.95917009999999 - **long**: -1.0848198 - **full address**: City Screen Picturehouse, 13-17 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Reignite XVI: Screen Industries & the North - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/0d59601971f86f6e0cf4c1bde9f45e94b4647ae486258911c85f5e2477ef6403-rimg-w1200-h675-dc2e2935-gmir.jpg?v=1783528676 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Reignite XVI: Screen Industries & the North being held? - **A:** Reignite XVI: Screen Industries & the North takes place on Wed, 23 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 23 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at City Screen Picturehouse, 13-17 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Reignite XVI: Screen Industries & the North? - **A:** Reignite XVI: Screen Industries & the North is organized by Aesthetica Magazine. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
