FILMCLUB On The Road

FILMCLUB On the Road is a brand new initiative that piloted earlier in the year and launched fully in September 2009.  It’s as simple as this; by bringing the "cinema experience" to your school we promise to reenergise your film club and leave club leaders confident in their ability to relaunch and run their clubs at full potential.

On the day we set up the club room, screen a film, capture reviews and inspire the participants about the power of film. Our On the Road team aim to give help and guidance to schools who have started a film club or who need other advice on how to run their club.  But most of all we aim to have some film fun!

The visits will usually be accompanied by a Schools Support Coordinator and occasionally, under the Close Encounters Scheme, which introduces a club to filmmakers, actors, directors etc., by a VIP Coordinator, a film crew and a member of the film industry. FILMCLUB On The Road is our new activity to bring films to your school.

What will FCOTR bring with them?

State of the art projector, large screen, beanbags, sound equipment, laptops (to capture audience reviews) and a big bag of popcorn.

What film will we watch?

We’ll bring our library of films so your pupils get to enjoy a fantastic screening. We will endeavour to match your film requirements or host a surprise screening, immersing clubs in a vibrant mix of vintage hits, international classics, blockbusters, art movies and all points in between.

What do I need to do?

All you need to do is find us a big enough (dark) space and an audience of students and teachers - we will do the rest.

What will I get out of it?

These visits are designed to help ignite interest and passion in the film club idea among staff and pupils alike. We won’t leave you empty-handed. Apart from the buzz and enthusiasm generated, we’ll make sure we forget a few goodies that’ll help turn your screening space into somewhere special.
