We Are Parable: The UK’s Black film evangelists
Since launching in 2013, husband-and-wife team Anthony and Teanne Andrews have been on a tireless quest to bring Black British film to new audiences. With screenings, Q&As and even the odd cosplay event, they’ve built a community, started a thousand conversations, run a season at the British Film Institute and reflected stories of Black British life back to audiences across the country. Discovery, connection and empowerment through film and filmmaking are the name of the game. Watch them go.
Biggest achievement so far: Parable’s Spike Lee retrospective in 2017 saw the man himself stop by for a special Q&A, delivering an endorsement that’s helped jet-propel We Are Parable’s mission. ‘That was a tipping point for us,’ says Teanne.
How they're changing the world: We Are Parable’s latest initiative, Momentum, will offer mentoring and encouragement to up-and-coming Black filmmakers – even psychological support to help with mental toll involved in pushing through barriers. Phil de Semlyen
