Film Academy
Are you aged between eight and seventeen?

Are you interested in learning about all aspects of film making including
screen writing, storyboarding, operating a camera, recording audio, editing?

Would you like to be trained by a professional film maker?

Toxteth TV runs children’s and young people’s film academies. The best part
is they’re free.

The academies have made films ranging from drama to comedy and animation to
documentary.

The young people’s film academy, for young people aged 13-17 are making a
documentary about mental health at the moment, looking at perceptions,
misperceptions and attempting to get behind the taboos. This project is
being supported the Liverpool Primary Care Trust Foundation.

The children’s film academy, for children aged 8 – 12  is about to start
a new project.

In focus:

Aimed to adults aged 19 In focus trains them in film making, IT and
broadcast. This project will lead to five broadcasts in March by groups
ranging from those who have experienced homelessness to older people, from
local people to carers. This project is supported by the Government’s new

and broadcast as a training medium whilst exploring the issue of employment
for adults who have learning difficulties.

Graft & Glamour 2:

Having worked successfully with the Innovations Factory in 2009, Toxteth TV
will be collaborating once again to work with a group of young people from
Wigan who are at risk of exclusion. Training the young people in film making
they write, direct and film their own script working with professionals at
every stage of the production.
