Frozen Sing-A-Long, Take One Action, and Africa in Motion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear teachers,<\/p>\n

I wanted to let you know about schools screenings we’ve added for the new term.<\/p>\n

For nurseries, we’re putting on Frozen Sing-A-Long<\/a>. We’re finding little ones are pretty keen on this event! We’ve also linked to some learning resources to go with Frozen suitable for pre-school ages – see listing for more details.<\/p>\n

Primary classes will be interested in two screenings we’re putting on as part of Africa in Motion. Khumba<\/a> for lower secondary is a great tale about a half-striped zebra overcoming discrimination, whilst Felix<\/a>, about a disadvantaged child in South Africa who wants to be a saxophonist, will appeal to upper primary and lower secondary. Free for Glasgow City Council schools with learning resources available.<\/p>\n

For secondary classes, we are taking part in this year’s Take One Action Film Festival with screenings focusing on human rights in different parts of the world. The Revolutionary Optimists<\/a> explores the lives of children living in poverty-striken areas of India, whilst Inequality for All<\/a> follows an inspiring activist taking on social deprivation in the USA. Our Africa in Motion events for upper secondary are Ivory Coast-set French language animation Aya of Yop City<\/a> and South African surfing morality tale, Otelo Burning<\/a>. These films are all free for Glasgow City Council schools and there are links to various learning resources on the listing.<\/p>\n

Glasgow Youth Film Festival continues its\u00a0new monthly nights<\/a> for older children who might be considering a career in the media industries. On Thursday 11th September, we’ll welcome executive producers from BBC Scotland to give a masterclass on working in children’s TV and multiplatform content<\/a>. Young people aged 15-21 can get discounted tickets for these events by signing up to GFT’s Youth Card<\/a>. Please encourage any pupils interested in media to come along!<\/p>\n

For younger children, our Take 2<\/a> and Access Take 2<\/a> programme of FREE films for Glasgow Kidz<\/a> and Young Scots Card<\/a> holders plus accompanying adults continues every Saturday morning at GFT.<\/p>\n

We hope to see you soon at one of our events!<\/p>\n

Best wishes,<\/p>\n
