Now showing!

We've just finished curating a fabulous list of films made by Sheffield children, families and one school to show in our make shift cinema at our film event on Sunday 24th. The titles give you an idea of the range of topics covered - 'The Girl with the World in her Hair' or  'Dalek Birthday Party'  anyone?

We've loved shortlisting the films, and hope you'll love watching them! Plus, our flyer for the event is now ready - pdf version here. Please pass it on to any budding film makers you know and who knows what it could get started...
