awen productions

awen is an award-winning film and media production social enterprise set up by three independent filmmakers in 2006 and based in West Cornwall. Our films are locally distinct, immersive visual journeys deeply rooted in people, place and culture. Our collection of films and creative media projects grow out of our passion in observational human-interest stories, socially driven undiscovered narratives, hidden histories and archive. We develop, produce and distribute our films through festivals, events, screenings, independent cinemas, galleries, museums, and digital platforms. The work we produce arises from long-term relationships and collaborations with our communities and partners using integrated, participatory approaches. We are interested in exploring diverse subjects including rural matters, social issues, local culture, heritage and history, place and identity, human rights, youth culture, archive, globalisation and the environment. As filmmakers we strive for aesthetic and technical quality with a clear focus on integrity and ethics. We believe that documentary film and creative media plays an important role in educating and engaging people of all ages and backgrounds, whether as viewers or as participants and contributors.
