Film Street introduces young people to the world of films and filmmaking in fun and exciting ways. It combines video, interactive games and workshops to encourage, inform and support teachers and children to create their own films and animations both in and out of school.

The Stop Frame Animator activity is only one of many new features on the revamped Film Street site alongside:

Interactive activities designed to encourage creative activity at home or in the classroom

Video-based and text-based classroom workshops

Features on contemporary filmmakers and animators

A platform for exhibition and celebration of young people’s work which includes short films by young people alongside professional films and commercial trailers

Film Street is produced by Artistsatwork.org and Notion 23, creators of the hugely successful BAFTA-winning ArtisanCam website. ArtisanCam is a leading resource for introducing young people to the work of contemporary artists.

Originally commissioned by Culture Online, part of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, Film Street was developed by First Light Movies in partnership with CBBC, the British Film Institute, the UK Film Council and Creative Partnerships.

Film Street’s redesign has been made possible thanks to funding from London Grid for Learning (LGFL) and First Light.
