​Across the social and public-interest sector, organisations are finding new ways to tell their stories.

​Some are making complex research more accessible through film. Others are rethinking how they communicate, redesigning their identities, or building campaigns that invite people into conversations that matter.

​Matinee is an opportunity to step behind some of that work.

​Across the evening, we'll screen a selection of projects we've had the privilege of collaborating on, alongside the stories, decisions, and creative process that shaped them.

​Whether you're working in communications, fundraising, programmes, research, design, or simply curious about how meaningful work reaches people, we hope you'll leave with a few new ideas about what storytelling can make possible.

​It's a showcase, a reflection, and a bit of a hangout, all rolled into one.

​What's Playing

​This edition of Matinee brings together work from organisations working across education, governance, livelihoods, justice, philanthropy, and public systems.

​You'll see films, identities, campaigns, websites, publications, and original ideas created to help organisations communicate their work with greater clarity and care.

​Alongside every project, we'll share the thinking behind it; the conversations, constraints, experiments, and unexpected turns that happen behind the scenes.

​What To Expect

​An evening of films, conversations, and behind-the-scenes stories from the past year.

​You'll get to:

• ​Watch a curated selection of recent work.

• ​Hear the thinking that shaped each project.

• ​Meet the people behind LastBench.

• ​Spend a couple of hours with people who enjoy stories as much as we do.

​Who It Is For

​If you're a founder, designer, filmmaker, researcher, communicator, student, or simply someone interested in how ideas become experiences, we'd love to have you over.

​Whether you're discovering LastBench for the first time or have followed our work for years, Matinee is a good place to begin.

​FAQs

​How long is the event?

​About two hours, followed by enough conversation to keep you around a little longer if you'd like.

​Can I bring a friend?

​Absolutely. Just ask them to RSVP separately so we can plan seating.

​Can I take photographs?

​Of course. Just keep the flash off, be mindful of others, and tag @lastbench.studio if you share anything.

​Is this only for people working in design or film?

​Not at all. If you're curious about storytelling, thoughtful design, or how ideas become experiences, you'll probably feel right at home.
