Honouring the legacy of Alex Wheatle

Join us as we invite the Black film and TV community, along with allies, to come together in remembrance of Alex Wheatle – a towering figure in Black British literature and screenwriting. His storytelling transformed the cultural landscape, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations.

Alex Wheatle’s impact on British television was profound, from his powerful contribution to the BBC’s Small Axe to the recent acclaimed adaptation of his award-winning Crongton Knights series. His work gave voice to underrepresented stories and reshaped the narrative of Black British experiences on screen.

Join us as we celebrate Alex’s career

Join us as we reflect on his remarkable career, share memories, and raise a glass in his honour. All are welcome.

Through initiatives like the Reel Impact programme, the Sir Horace Ové Fund, and community events, we remain committed to supporting Black British talent and ensuring that diverse voices continue to thrive in the screen industries.

The event is free, but for the Charity to be able to plan for numbers we ask you to book a place. If you require more information, please email [email protected]
