BIG LOTTERY AND CHILDREN IN NEED SUBSIDISED PROJECTS WITH YOUNG PEOPLE

Soap Box Films have been awarded a Big Lottery grant and funding from Children in Need to develop work with young people (13-19) across Merseyside (Liverpool, Knowsley, St Helens, Halton, and Birkenhead, Bootle & Netherton). These video training projects have many outcomes including a 5-10 minute DVD, an enhancement of the participants’ communication and team-working skills, a local and an annual screening, and the potential to gain an OCN accredited qualification.

We are trying to set up meetings in the different boroughs and areas to discuss, in detail, what this means for your area and organisations, and how this can fit in with what work you currently do with young people. See our training page for details on previous video training projects.

We have already run projects during the summer and since in Kirkby, Runcorn and Widnes, Liverpool 8, Birkenhead, Central Liverpool and Netherton, and we have set-up future projects in Huyton. For more details on these projects visit our Big Lottery and Children in Need Project’s page.

PLEASE NOTE – Until the end of May 2010 our subsidy is 58% off the total cost of the project.

If you are interested, Soap Box would like to come over to your area and meet with you face to face to discuss in further detail how we can work together. Initially, you could contact us for more detailed information on 0151 708 8008 or info@soapboxfilms.org.uk

UNIQUE WATERFRONT SETTING FOR EPIC MOVIE

One of the greatest films of all time, Marlon Brando’s ‘On The Waterfront’, is coming to Liverpool in a great free open air spectacular.

The powerful story, concerned with the problems of trade unionism, corruption and racketeering, features Brando at the peak of his career and will be screened at the world famous Liverpool waterfront on Saturday, September 26 2009.

The new Museum of Liverpool will be transformed into a gigantic 24-metre wide cinema screen for On The Waterfront, the last of three weekends of free entertainment at the Pier Head this summer, commissioned by Liverpool City Council and produced by Walk The Plank.

Brando’s eight Oscar award-winning epic, which inspired the name of the festival, is just one of a number of classic films and audio visual performances to be screened at the Pier Head from Friday, September 25 until Sunday, September 27.

More than 2,000 people are expected at the Pier Head to watch the 1954 classic, which was last year shown outdoors in San Francisco.

An estimated 55,000 have so far flocked to Liverpool’s Pier Head and Allbert Docks for the first two instalments of Music and Art On the Waterfront, which were supported principally by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Tate Liverpool. Film On the Waterfront is supported by FACT’s new AND (Abandon New Devices) multi-media festival. Continue reading ‘‘On the Waterfront’ is On the Waterfront 26 Sep 09′
