Cafesociety.org runs filmmaking workshops in the community working particularly with young people in youth clubs, adventure playgrounds, schools, and education centres.

Sidmouth Primary School - Hull

We think digital filmmaking is a magical tool to enhance both learning and teaching. Our school programmes are designed to complement the national curriculum and to offer real tangible learning outcomes that aim to inspire and motivate pupils and teachers.

Each project is different depending on the type of group, genre and theme but all the workshops we run take the students through the filmmaking process from start to finish. They learn about storytelling, scriptwriting, storyboarding, sound, camera, acting and editing. At the end of each project a screening is held and students are given a DVD of their film.

Our workshops are a fun and educational experience that also helps young people to build confidence and express themselves creatively through the medium of film. We’ve found the workshops help strengthen communities and are especially beneficial for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and areas.
