After a successful two years of the Take Me To London project, it's back for 2012! With funding from BAA, Chocolate Films is partnering with Watermans once again to run this fantastic project. 5 groups of secondary school students from west London will be visiting 1 of 5 London landmarks; the London Transport Museum, V&A, Museum of Childhood, Kensington Palace and Tate Modern, and making a short documentary or digital storytelling film about their experiences at these landmarks. Some of these young people have not had the chance to explore central London let-alone make their own film, so this is a fantastic, new opportunity for them to experience filmmaking with museum culture. At the end of the project, the films will be publicly exhibited at Watermans during a month long Take Me To London 2012 exhibition.
Aoife has started the project this week, with the first of 6 digtial-storytelling workshops at Barnhill School in Middlesex and there is much excitement about visiting their London landmark, The Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.
Rachel Wang, director of Chocolate Films, spoke to the west London based community radio station, Hayes FM about the project. You can listen to Rachel's interview here.
