Impact & Partners

Sweetheart: Angel of the Moor is more than a film; it is a collaboration that brings together partners, funders, and communities. This page acknowledges the organisations and individuals who support the project and highlights the wider impact we all hope to create.

Partnerships and Community Impact

Impact is measured not only in screenings and awards but also in conversations sparked, histories uncovered, and communities engaged. By working with film and heritage organisations, festivals, and universities, the project builds bridges between creative storytelling, academic research, and cultural memory.

 

Funding partners and sponsors play a vital role in making this possible, ensuring that the voices of history and folklore can be brought to new audiences. Alongside them, Local Communities across Yorkshire remain central, with planned screenings, talks, and events designed to celebrate shared heritage and open discussion about justice, women’s voices, and the power of storytelling.

 

Together, these partnerships and initiatives ensure that Sweetheart: Angel of the Moor makes an impact far beyond the screen.

Local Communities

Our Yorkshire roots are at the heart of Sweetheart: Angel of the Moor. The project is designed not only for national and international audiences, but also for the local communities who live among the landscapes and stories that inspired it. Screenings, talks, and events will take place across the region, giving local audiences a chance to connect with the film, its history, and its folklore. Partnerships with schools, heritage groups, and community organisations will ensure that the story resonates where it matters most. By engaging directly with local voices, the project aims to celebrate shared heritage, spark conversation about justice and women’s voices, and create a sense of belonging that carries the film far beyond the screen.

Community Talks

Community Talks

 

From winter 2026, we will begin offering talks and presentations on the development of Sweetheart: Angel of the Moor. These sessions will be available for local heritage societies, community groups, and women’s organisations, giving audiences a chance to hear about the film’s historical research, creative process, and wider impact aims.

 

By sharing the story of Mary-Jane Skaife and the journey of bringing her voice to the screen, these talks aim to spark discussion, strengthen local connections, and invite communities to play a part in the project as it grows.

 

Bookings are now open for winter 2026 talks — contact us to arrange a session for your group.
