LE CINEMA, CENT ANS DE JEUNESSE (WITH BFI) LFS filmmakers work alongside UK teachers to deliver an international filmmaking programme run in collaboration with the British Film Institute. This unique programme gives young people (aged 7 to 18) a chance to experience cinema, by discovering cinematic heritage and taking part in filmmaking exercises. Young people in schools around the world make films that respond to an aspect of film language which changes every year. The programme is tightly structured into exploratory exercises and the production of a final film. A comprehensive ‘viewing curriculum’ of clips taken from the history of cinema is offered alongside practical workshops. Filmmaking groups in education settings in the UK are welcome to join the project by emailing LFS Outreach: s.vanroomen@lfs.org.uk. You can watch previous films that we have produced as part of this programme here.  |
