Founded in 2009 by Claudia Vasquez Ramírez, Sabela Pernas Soto, Petra Niskanen and Abbe Leigh Fletcher, w.in.c films are a collective of filmmakers from the MA film making at Kingston School of Art.

We formed the collective to travel to Cuba in 2009 to visit the Cine Pobre No-Budget Film Festival in Gibara, founded by Humberto Solás. The film we made there The road to Gibara/El camino hacia Gibara (2010, w.in.c films) was selected for Cine Pobre 9 the following year. Since then we have made films in Medellín in Colombia, Santiago de Compostela in Galicia and London and Hampshire in the UK.

In 2019 to mark ten years of the collective we opened up to new members and now invite new members once a year.

In 2021 we were commissioned by the Stanley Picker Gallery to make a short film of Ben Judd’s The Origin Project.

In 2022 winc films worked on the British Council funded project About Making: Exploring Building Craft and its Social Practices, with Eleena Jamil, Christoph Lueder, Stephen Knott and Abbe Fletcher, producing interviews with UK-based architects 121 Collective, Notpla and Group Work with Amin Taha.

During the pandemic, feeling the isolation of remote working and missing making work in collaboration with others, I started a series of conversations with colleagues at Kingston School of Art on collective creative practice.

These continue on a monthly basis as a space to share experience of working collectively in film and other creative practices.
