FILM STREET A NEW FREE INTERACTIVE WEBSITE FOR PRIMARY AGED CHILDREN

Film Street is a new exciting, fun website for six to nine-year-olds, designed to unlock imaginations, introduce the joys of film and encourage expression through filmmaking. The website, which went live last month, is full of interactive activities, fresh movie-making ideas, expert advice and endless hours of learning enjoyment plus downloadable teaching and learning activities mapped to the curriculum. www.filmstreet.co.uk

Film Street has been commissioned by Culture Online, part of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and developed by First Light, the UK Film Council’s young people’s initiative. Partners include CBBC, the British Film Institute, the UK Film Council and Creative Partnerships.
