Alnwick Playhouse to screen films created by young people in new workshop

A three-day filmmaking workshop in Alnwick will allow young people to see their production on the big screen.

Led by filmmaker Dan Hansom, attendees will work with archival images and stories from the Northumberland Fire Service during the post-war reconstruction period and collaborate to create an original short film.

Through a mix of performance, storytelling and practical filmmaking, young people will explore character, camera work, and visual storytelling.

Dan Hansom said: “I want the young people involved to leave feeling proud of what they’ve created, with new skills, new confidence, and the experience of seeing their own work screened on the big screen at Alnwick Playhouse.

"Film is such a powerful way to bring stories to life, and this project is all about making that accessible to everyone.”

The workshop will take place from May 27 to - May 29. The films will be screened at Alnwick Playhouse on August 5.

Tickets are £30 and are available for young people aged 12 – 18.
