Community Arts - Goole Silent Movie Project
This project has been running for around a year with a committed group of young people who have created their own film based on the history of Goole. They researched local and regional history, learned about the Silent Film era, developed ideas into stories and then into script. They then developed ideas for set, costume, animation, and location. The filming of the project involved acting (in period costume) working the 8mm cameras and taking ‘crew’ roles for the film including props, clapper board etc.
Following the fun and exhausting film shoot during the August summer holidays, the film is in post production now, being edited and young local musicians working on the creating the soundtrack.
Why not join us to see the results of all of the young people’s hard work?
Goole Premiere – Saturday 6 October 6pm, 7pm & 8pm at The Gate Theatre.
Bradford Premiere – Wednesday 10 October 7.30pm Cubby Broccoli Screen, National Media Museum, Bradford.
Other screenings planned include Hull’s Big Screen, Waterways Museum and Sewerby Hall.
This project has received financial support from Heritage Lottery Fund’s Young Roots Scheme, and has sponsorship from Kodak. Local and regional museums (Goole Museum, Waterways Museum, National Media Museum and Yorkshire Film Archive) have all been really supportive of the project, offering the young people materials, props advice and support when needed.
The project has already received regional acclaim and is to be included in a publication by Heritage Lottery Fund as a model of good practice – and the film isn’t even finished yet!
Next stop Hollywood!
