If there’s one thing we know about children, it’s that they are great storytellers. Their imagination and creativity can transport you from a woodland walk to a land of magical fairies and mysterious witches. Oh to see the world through the eyes of a child again… As we “grow up” we seem to lose our inner child and with it our imagination and creativity can fade. But what if we encouraged children to explore this more, and we feed that creativity into something that can grow to serve them as a skill and a route to a career? What if we taught them how to show their stories rather than just tell them? Let’s teach children about films and filmmaking. This October, the Surrey Short Film Festival (SSFF) will take place with a weekend-long celebration of short films on the short film platform Cameo Launch and in person at the award-winning Nova Cinema in Woking. Saturday 7th October will see SSFF present the Film Festival Family Day which will offer an educational and cinematic experience for all ages. In partnership with Sparks Arts, the Film Festival Fun Day will include filmmaking workshops for children aged 8-11 years old. In these sessions, children will work in small groups and get the opportunity to learn new skills, improve their knowledge of basic Empowering children through film filmmaking and work as part of a team to create their very own short film. Families will also have the opportunity to enjoy a showcase of short films in one of Nova Cinema’s fantastic screens. Crossing genres and hailing from all corners of the world, this event will show kids the wonderous and magical world available to them through short film.
