A team at the University of Roehampton are looking for schools interested in taking part in a multilingual film competition; winning entries will feature at a Film Festival in June 2019. 

Films need to include more than one language, through both audio and subtitle channels.

Pupils can create films (of up to 10 mins) and enter one of two categories: GCSE or A Level.

Online learning packs, online tuition and workshops will be provided in phases to participating schools, supporting teachers and students to create short films with free and easily accessible equipment. A selection of topics are:

  • Script writing
  • Acting for the camera
  • Shooting and editing
  • Adding sound and music
  • Translation techniques
  • Subtitling
