ABCinema Sprint

Friday 27th – Sun 29th March 2015 Getting the next generation curious and engaged about film heritage. Image by Vanessa Bellar Spruijit The ABCinema 3-day sprint is focused on innovative and participatory approaches to engaging the next generation (16 – 25 year olds) in film heritage and culture outside the formal education environment.

We bring together representatives About from some of Europe’s leading film archives together with some the most forward-thinking UK cinema practitioners as well as young people aged 16 - 25 actively involved in film projects. What can I expect? The aim is to inspire, surprise and challenge. In the rapidly evolving and disruptive digital context of ‘everything, everywhere, now’, we know there’s a real appetite for watching films and that digital is enabling film watching and film culture to be more accessible than ever; but what does this mean in practical terms for archives and cinemas and their communities?

Expect to explore questions such as why and how should we try to reach those who don’t engage with film heritage? What are the opportunities that the digital context opens up in terms of participation and audience development on and offline? How can we re-image the way in which audiences are invited in and experience film? Can we think creatively “with” young people about engaging their generation in heritage film and culture?

The Partners Arts Connect works to connect children and young people with great arts and culture. We are funded by Arts Council England to be the Bridge organisation for the West Midlands. We run programmes with schools, arts organisations, libraries, museums, film centres and heritage venues. We also promote Artsmark and Arts Award in the region.

Into Film is a UK–wide charity that harnesses the educational value of film, placing it at the heart of young people’s learning and personal development. Our programme runs free of charge, providing opportunities for young people to watch, make and understand films.

We give 5–19 year olds across the UK the chance to experience film and the moving image creatively and critically, as well as learning about the film industry and careers within it.

In school, out of school, in cinemas or online we ignite and cultivate interest, and provide teachers and youth leaders with the tools and training to support engagement with film at all levels, intofilm.org
