Exciting Updates!

Sorry to have been a bit quiet on the website front but that can only mean one thing... We have been busy and have LOTS of exciting updates! 

Firstly, back by popular demand! 

We were invited to run a special screening of The Aristocats at Woodseats Primary School.

This was our first screening in a school and we are pleased to announce it was a great success with over 130 people in attendance! 

Thank you so much to everyone who came down - we had some great feedback and it was fantastic to see the faces of the children as they entered their school hall which had been completely transformed into Paris! 

Thank you also to Friends of Woodseats who assisted with the event, especially Sarah Bull invited us and Mrs Fox the Headteacher for letting us invade your school with cardboard boxes! 

More pictures to follow soon... 


If you think Handmade Cinema would work well in your school or community group - please get in touch handmadecinema@hotmail.com! We'd love to hear from you! 

Next announcement, we will be at the Winter Gardens this Sunday (15th June) as part of the Sheffield Network for Arts and Cultural Providers and Sheffield Children's Festival JOIN IN Day! 

Inspired by Wallace and Gromit and the wondrous Aardman Studios, we will be bringing our own Handmade Cinema Animation Studio down for the morning! 

So come on down and join us between 10:30 am - 12 noon and have a go at creating your own short animated film! 

If that isn't enough, we are pleased to announce that we are teaming up with The Montgomery Theatre to create a new screening in October/November... 

We are very, very excited about this and will announce the full details, including workshop and screening times and dates next week.

But in the meantime here is a little teaser of our lovely promotional material courtesy of the wonderful Handmade Cinema artist Alison Swinney... 

Can anyone guess what film we might be showing???!
