Working in partnership with Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian Football Clubs ‘Xpress Yourself’ is a short film making programme targeting young people aged 12-19 in the City of Edinburgh, with priority given to those resident in areas of deprivation.

Free taster workshops will take place at Tynecastle and Easter Road, giving participants the opportunity to write, shoot and act, giving them a taste of the filmmaking process.

From these taster sessions the most interested young people will move forward to form core filmmaking groups based at each club, with intensive training and support provided by Screen Education Edinburgh to enable the young people to produce short films.

The taster workshops are being held on Friday 5th October between 1.30pm and 4.30pm at Easter Road Stadium and Friday 12th October between 1.30pm and 4.30pm at Tynecastle Stadium.

Bus fares will be reimbursed to the young people and snacks will be provided.

Young people interested are encouraged to contact Sarah Drummond at Screen Education Edinburgh to register their interest – sarah@screen-ed.org or 07827 292 379
