About Clay Films

The Clay Films project aims to celebrate and increase the profile of Global Majority artists that are working with film and clay as a primary material. They aim to reflect the richness of clay as a medium of artistic expression in film. They are interested in how artists are using film for storytelling, activism, provocation and exploration of identity. This can be in any film style or genre. They are seeking films which are intended to be artistic work, rather than filmed documentation or interpretation of other clay and ceramic artwork.

Clay Films is open to Global Majority artists of African and Caribbean heritage based throughout the world, including the UK. These artists are invited to submit an existing artist film for consideration. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel including Global Majority sector experts who will select ten films to be shown throughout the six weeks of the 2025 British Ceramics Biennial, taking place in Stoke-on-Trent, UK.

Deadline for applications: 24 June 2025
