We have some fantastic educational film events lined up for you this Summer Term, as well as a few treats to reward you

for all your hard work over the year!

Learn about and be inspired to protect our environment with GREEN SCREEN in May! Learn about how the British Board of

Film Classification decides which movies are suitable for you in our interactive clips-based BBFC workshops to celebrate

100 years of film classification in June. Let your hair down after exams with our post-SATS treat screenings of BUGSY

MALONE in May and treat the whole school to a morning in the cinema with our End of Term Treats coming up in July!

Our Cinema Education programme aims to broaden children’s and young people’s cultural awareness, literacy skills and

cineliteracy abilities.

Below you will find the dates and details of all our schools’ events. Ticket prices, booking procedures and venue

information can all be found below; advance reservations are essential and you can book via phone or email now!

GREEN SCREEN 2012A season of films exploring our changing environment

A TUR TL E ’S TALE (U)

A spectacular animation following the adventures of

Sammy the sea turtle as he searches the ocean for his one

true love. During the epic journey which all turtles must

accomplish before returning to the beach where they were

born, Sammy dodges every possible danger; he battles with

piranhas, escapes a fish eagle and searches for a

mysterious secret passage, in the hope of meeting Shelly

again. Throughout this fifty-year voyage we see the effects

of global warming take their toll on the oceans though

Sammy’s eyes.

MAR CH O F THE PENG UINS (U)

Each winter, alone in the pitiless ice deserts of Antarctica, a

truly remarkable journey takes place as it has done for

millennia. Emperor penguins in their thousands abandon

the deep blue security of their ocean home and clamber

onto the frozen ice and journey into a region so bleak, so

extreme, it supports no other wildlife at this time of year.

Compelling narration weaves science and legend together

artfully to create a film that will enthrall and educate in

equal measures, supporting the teaching and learning of

science, environment, animals and habitat topics.

END O F SATS SPECIAL :

B UG SY MAL ONE (U)

Friday 18 May, 10.30am at your local Picturehouse!

Extra screenings on Weds 23 May 10.30am by advance

request.

Please book for either date before 4pm FRIDAY 4 MAY

Telling of the rise of the sharp-suited Bugsy Malone and the

battle for power between Fat Sam and Dandy Dan, this

Chicago-set gangster movie is a classic of the genre with

one big twist – all the gangsters are children and the gang

wars are fought not with bullets but with ‘splat guns’ that

cover the victims in cream.

Ok, it won’t end up in a custard pie fight, but let your

students let down their hair after their exam stress with a

screening of the fabulous BUGSY MALONE!

want to bring your packed lunches with you, we can

reserve space for you to eat. We need requests at least a

week in advance to be able to request space and it is

limited so we can’t guarantee it.
