Melbury Primary School: Greenwood Zak, film screening
A drop in event, to watch this wonderful short film with sound and subtitles, by Melbury Primary School pupils.
This film was created by children responding to a narrative by the writer Peter Rumney. The children filmed locations in the woods and open spaces around their school, developing their own versions of the story.
After watching the first version of the film, they developed a script and recorded their own voice-overs. This work was the culmination of playful explorations of emptiness, landscape and objects, designed to discover stories through drawing and movement, talking and writing.
