About Us
Our Mission
Established as a charity in 1982, GMAC is a learning organisation that removes barriers and creates opportunities through filmmaking.
Our creative and educational activities enable all people – regardless of age, background or income – to acquire the knowledge, resources and self-belief to realise their ambitions in the screen sector, their communities, and life.
We know that Film and TV play a significant role culturally, shaping our beliefs, attitudes and ideas of what is possible. We also know that the industry has an ongoing diversity problem which must change; the Office for National Statistics found that the screen industries workforce is more male, more white, younger and better off, with fewer people with disabilities than the UK economy.
We believe that removing barriers to screen education and training benefits everyone as it unlocks potential, broadens horizons and contributes to transformational change in our communities.
What We Do
Our work spans three interlinking areas: Community Engagement, Learning, and Talent Development. We work with individuals and organisations to deliver projects, events and a safe space for learning with lasting and practical impact.
Our Vision
We envision Scotland as a vibrant and inclusive country, where diverse stories are celebrated, untapped potential is nurtured, and the transformative power of storytelling is harnessed to create positive social impact and inspire future generations.
