YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORKSHOPS - MACHINEMA
DOCSPACE OUTREACH has teamed up with Hand Up Media, Christian Aid and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland d to develop a film-making project for young people seeking to investigate and promote solutions to climate change and poverty: COOL IT !!
Secondary schools from all over Scotland were invited to submit story-boards on the theme of climate change for a national film-making competition in the autumn term.
The winning group from Dalkeith High School were selected to work with a specialist technical team of industry professionals to transform their story-board into a real animated film.
This film – which will be made using machinima technology - will be shared across the internet, enabling young people to spread their climate change message digitally with other young people across the world.

DOCSPACE is now registered as a charity:

We have recently completed a series of children's workshops running in three different locations, including Chapter in Cardiff.
This programme combined the opportunity to work in new and innovative ways with young film-goers, while offering an opportunity for technicians and camera operators to train in the ground breaking filming and editing techniques that make this workshop possible.
These workshops had four aims:
The Screening of new documentary shorts, shot specifically for young people
Facilitation, filming and editing of the children's creative response to the docs, using art materials
The screening of a new film in which the young people are the subjects and creators
Training of personel to run further workshops.
More metacinema workshops in March - in collaboration with the Middle East Film Festival ...watch this space
