Supporting Powerful Voices: Square Elephant Productions Sponsors Media Trust Film Screening on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls

Violence against women and girls remains a major issue across the UK and globally. Media Trust’s initiative aimed to support charities in communicating these realities through powerful filmmaking, helping audiences better understand the lived experiences of survivors and the vital work of frontline organisations.

Film has a unique ability to create empathy. It allows viewers to step into someone else’s world, even if only for a few minutes. These short films demonstrated how storytelling can help challenge silence, break stigma, and encourage action.

At Square Elephant Productions, we take the issue of gender equality and safety extremely seriously. As a creative studio working across film, television, and branded content, we believe the industry has both the responsibility and the opportunity to amplify important voices.

Supporting initiatives like this screening is part of that commitment.

Our team regularly works with charities, non-profits, and organisations using film as a tool for awareness and impact. Whether through storytelling, production support, or technical delivery, we believe that creative collaboration can help bring vital stories to wider audiences.

Ending violence against women and girls requires action across society, from governments and institutions to communities and individuals. Storytelling plays a small but powerful role in that effort, helping people understand the issue and inspiring change.

While audiences experience the emotional impact of the films in the cinema, there is a technical process that ensures they play flawlessly on the big screen.

Square Elephant Productions supported the Media Trust team by helping prepare the films for cinema exhibition, producing Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) for the screening. DCP is the professional format used by cinemas worldwide and ensures films are delivered with the correct colour, sound, and projection standards.

For charity projects and independent filmmakers, navigating technical delivery formats can be a challenge. By assisting with this process, our goal was simple: make sure the focus remained on the stories themselves, not the technical hurdles of screening them.

The Media Trust screening was an inspiring evening that demonstrated the power of collaboration between charities, filmmakers, and the wider creative community.

We’re grateful to have played a small role in helping bring these important films to the big screen, and we look forward to supporting more projects that use film as a force for positive change.
